Instructions for Use:

1. Handling and Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place.
   • Avoid exposure to high humidity and temperatures outside the storage range.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Ensure proper polarity when connecting the device.
   • Do not exceed the maximum ratings for forward current, peak forward current, and reverse voltage.
   • Use appropriate current-limiting resistors to prevent overcurrent conditions.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating at or near the maximum continuous forward current.
   • Monitor the operating temperature to ensure it remains within the specified range.

4. Environmental Considerations:

   • The device is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use ESD protection measures during handling and assembly.
   • Avoid exposure to corrosive environments and chemicals that could degrade performance.

5. Testing and Verification:

   • Verify the forward voltage and output current using a known load resistor.
   • Test the reverse leakage current to ensure it is within the specified limits.

6. Mounting:

   • Follow recommended soldering profiles to avoid thermal shock.
   • Ensure the device is securely mounted to prevent mechanical stress on the leads.

7. Compliance:

   • Ensure compliance with relevant safety and regulatory standards for your application.
