Instructions for Use:

1. Voltage Handling:

   • Ensure that the applied voltage does not exceed the rated blocking voltage (1200V) to prevent breakdown.
   • The device can handle an RMS voltage of up to 849V.

2. Current Handling:

   • The peak repetitive forward current should not exceed 50A for more than 1 second.
   • The continuous forward current should be limited to 7A at a case temperature of 100°C.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Maintain the junction temperature within the range of -40°C to 150°C.
   • Use appropriate heatsinking to manage thermal resistance, aiming for a thermal resistance of 1.5°C/W from junction to case.

4. Reverse Recovery:

   • Be aware of the reverse recovery time of 60ns, which can affect performance in high-frequency applications.

5. Storage:

   • Store the device in a temperature range of -55°C to 150°C to ensure long-term reliability.

6. Forward Voltage:

   • At the rated forward current of 7A and a junction temperature of 25°C, the forward voltage drop is typically 1.3V.

7. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper mounting to avoid mechanical stress and ensure good thermal contact with the heatsink.

8. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection:

   • Handle the device with ESD precautions to prevent damage from static electricity.

9. Compliance:

   • Verify that the device meets all relevant safety and compliance standards for your application.
