Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure that the component is mounted with sufficient clearance to allow for heat dissipation.
   • Avoid mechanical stress on the leads during soldering.

2. Soldering:

   • Use a temperature-controlled soldering iron not exceeding 300°C.
   • Soldering time should not exceed 10 seconds per joint.
   • Allow the component to cool naturally after soldering.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode (A) to the positive side of the circuit.
   • Connect the cathode (K) to the negative side of the circuit.
   • Ensure that the maximum zener current (Izmax) is not exceeded to avoid damage.

4. Operating Conditions:

   • Operate the device within the specified operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C).
   • Do not exceed the maximum power dissipation (500 mW).

5. Storage:

   • Store the component in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
   • Keep the component in its original packaging until ready for use to prevent static damage.

6. Handling:

   • Handle the component with care to avoid physical damage.
   • Use appropriate ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions to prevent damage from static electricity.

7. Testing:

   • Test the component using a multimeter set to the diode test mode to verify proper operation.
   • Measure the zener voltage at the specified test current to ensure it falls within the tolerance range.

8. Disposal:

   • Dispose of the component in accordance with local regulations for electronic waste.
