Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to manage thermal resistance.
   • Use recommended PCB layout guidelines to minimize parasitic inductances.

2. Biasing:

   • Apply gate-source voltage (V_GS) within the specified range to avoid damage.
   • Ensure gate drive circuitry can provide sufficient current to charge and discharge the gate capacitance quickly.

3. Current Handling:

   • Do not exceed the maximum continuous drain current (I_D) or pulse drain current (I_D(pulsed)).
   • For high-current applications, consider parallel operation with appropriate balancing resistors.

4. Temperature Management:

   • Monitor junction temperature (T_J) to ensure it remains within safe limits.
   • Use thermal management techniques such as heatsinks, cooling fans, or liquid cooling if necessary.

5. Storage and Handling:

   • Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture damage.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress or damage to the leads.

6. Testing:

   • Perform initial testing at lower currents and voltages to verify correct operation.
   • Use appropriate test equipment and safety precautions when handling high voltages and currents.

7. Safety:

   • Always follow safety guidelines when working with high-power electronics.
   • Use protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses when handling components.
