Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting and Handling:

   • Ensure proper handling to avoid damage to the leads or body.
   • Mount the device on a heatsink if operating at high currents to maintain junction temperature within safe limits.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the device according to the circuit diagram provided in your application.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and free from shorts or open circuits.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Monitor the junction temperature (T_J) to ensure it does not exceed 150°C.
   • Use appropriate thermal management techniques such as heatsinks or cooling fans if necessary.

4. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed the rated voltage (V_R) of 450V.
   • Keep the continuous current (I_C) below 12A to avoid overheating.
   • The peak current (I_P) should not exceed 36A to prevent damage.

5. Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool place with temperatures between -55°C and 150°C.
   • Avoid exposure to corrosive environments.

6. Testing:

   • Perform initial testing at low power levels to verify correct operation.
   • Gradually increase power levels while monitoring temperature and performance.

7. Safety:

   • Always follow safety guidelines when working with high voltages and currents.
   • Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and grounding techniques.
