Instructions for Use:

1. Handling Precautions:

   • Handle the 2SC3116S with care to avoid static damage.
   • Use appropriate ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection measures.

2. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat dissipation if operating near the maximum power dissipation limit.
   • Use a heatsink if necessary, especially in high-power applications.

3. Biasing:

   • Ensure that the base current is within the specified limits to avoid damaging the transistor.
   • Use a base resistor to control the base current when driving the transistor from a digital or analog source.

4. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed the maximum ratings listed in the table.
   • Operate within the specified temperature range to ensure reliable performance.

5. Testing:

   • When testing the transistor, use a suitable test circuit to avoid over-stressing the device.
   • Measure the parameters under the conditions specified in the table for accurate results.

6. Storage:

   • Store the 2SC3116S in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
   • Keep the devices in their original packaging until ready for use to protect them from static and physical damage.
