Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure that the device is mounted with adequate heat sinking if operating at high currents.
   • Use a flat surface to ensure good thermal contact.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode (A) and cathode (K) terminals correctly.
   • Use appropriate wire gauges to minimize resistance and inductance.

3. Reverse Voltage:

   • Do not exceed the maximum reverse voltage of 15 V to avoid damage to the device.

4. Forward Current:

   • For continuous operation, do not exceed 50 mA.
   • For pulse operation, do not exceed 150 mA with pulse duration less than 10 μs and frequency less than 100 Hz.

5. Thermal Management:

   • Ensure proper cooling to keep the junction temperature within the specified range.
   • Avoid operating the device at temperatures exceeding 125°C to prevent thermal runaway.

6. Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage.
   • Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures outside the storage range of -40°C to 150°C.

7. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid mechanical stress.
   • Use anti-static precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge damage.

8. Testing:

   • Test the device under controlled conditions to ensure it meets the specified parameters.
   • Use a suitable power supply and current-limiting resistors during testing.
