Instructions for Use:

1. Handling Precautions:

   • Avoid exposing the transistor to temperatures outside the specified operating range.
   • Handle with care to prevent static damage.

2. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking if the device is expected to dissipate significant power.
   • Follow recommended soldering profiles to avoid thermal stress.

3. Biasing:

   • Ensure that the base current (I_B) is sufficient to keep the transistor in the desired operating region (saturation, active, or cutoff).
   • Use appropriate biasing circuits to maintain stability and prevent thermal runaway.

4. Testing:

   • Test the transistor under controlled conditions to ensure it meets the specified parameters.
   • Use a curve tracer or equivalent equipment to verify the characteristics.

5. Storage:

   • Store the transistors in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
   • Keep in original packaging until ready for use to protect against static discharge.

6. Soldering:

   • Solder at a temperature of 260°C for no more than 10 seconds.
   • Allow the device to cool naturally after soldering to avoid thermal shock.

7. Application Notes:

   • The 2SC4536 is suitable for general-purpose amplification and switching applications.
   • For high-frequency applications, consider the transition frequency (f_T) to ensure adequate performance.
