Instructions for Use:

1. Handling Precautions:

   • Avoid exposing the device to temperatures outside the specified storage temperature range.
   • Handle the device with care to avoid mechanical damage.

2. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to maintain the junction temperature within the specified limits.
   • Use recommended mounting torque for the screws to ensure good thermal contact.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the collector, base, and emitter terminals correctly to avoid damage.
   • Use appropriate wire gauges to handle the current ratings.

4. Operation:

   • Do not exceed the maximum ratings for voltage, current, and power dissipation.
   • Operate the device within the safe operating area (SOA) to prevent thermal runaway.

5. Testing:

   • Perform initial testing at reduced power levels to verify correct operation.
   • Use appropriate test equipment to measure parameters accurately.

6. Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and corrosive environments.

7. Disposal:

   • Follow local regulations for the disposal of electronic components to ensure environmental safety.
