Instructions for Use:

1. Handling and Storage:

   • Store in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress on the leads and body.

2. Mounting and Soldering:

   • Ensure the soldering temperature does not exceed 260°C for more than 10 seconds.
   • Allow sufficient cooling time after soldering to prevent thermal shock.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode to the positive side of the circuit.
   • Connect the cathode to the negative side of the circuit.
   • Ensure proper polarity to avoid reverse breakdown.

4. Thermal Management:

   • Provide adequate heat sinking if operating at high currents or in high ambient temperatures.
   • Monitor the junction temperature to ensure it remains within the specified limits.

5. Environmental Considerations:

   • The device is RoHS compliant and suitable for lead-free soldering processes.
   • Avoid exposure to corrosive environments which can degrade performance.

6. Testing and Verification:

   • Perform initial testing under controlled conditions to verify correct operation.
   • Regularly inspect the device for signs of wear or damage.

7. Documentation and Compliance:

   • Refer to the datasheet for detailed specifications and application notes.
   • Ensure compliance with all relevant safety and regulatory standards.
