Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat dissipation by mounting the diode on a suitable heatsink if operating near maximum current.
   • Use appropriate mechanical securing methods to prevent mechanical stress on the leads.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the diode in the forward direction (anode to positive, cathode to negative) to ensure correct operation.
   • Ensure that the peak reverse voltage does not exceed 90V to avoid breakdown.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Monitor the junction temperature to ensure it stays within the operating range (-65°C to 175°C).
   • Use thermal paste or thermal interface materials to improve heat transfer from the diode to the heatsink.

4. Surge Current Handling:

   • The diode can handle a peak forward surge current of up to 30A for non-repetitive pulses (8.3 ms sine-wave). Ensure that surge conditions do not exceed this limit.

5. Storage:

   • Store the diode in a dry environment within the temperature range of -65°C to 150°C to maintain its performance characteristics.

6. Handling:

   • Handle the diode with care to avoid damage to the leads and body.
   • Use ESD-safe tools and practices to prevent electrostatic discharge damage.

7. Testing:

   • When testing the diode, use a multimeter or a dedicated diode tester to check the forward and reverse characteristics.
   • Ensure that the test currents and voltages do not exceed the specified limits to avoid damaging the diode.
