Instructions:

1. Handling and Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture damage.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress or damage to the leads.

2. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper heat sinking to manage the power dissipation and maintain the junction temperature within safe limits.
   • Use a thermal compound between the device and the heatsink to improve thermal conductivity.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the collector, emitter, and gate terminals correctly to avoid damage.
   • Ensure that the gate voltage does not exceed the maximum ratings to prevent gate oxide breakdown.

4. Operation:

   • Operate the device within the specified temperature and current limits to ensure reliable performance.
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum collector-emitter voltage to prevent breakdown.

5. Testing:

   • Use appropriate test equipment and methods to verify the device parameters.
   • Follow safety guidelines when testing high-voltage and high-current circuits.

6. Safety:

   • Always use protective equipment when handling high-voltage components.
   • Follow all relevant safety standards and regulations.
