Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting and Handling:

   • Ensure proper handling to avoid static damage.
   • Mount the device on a heatsink to manage thermal resistance effectively.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the collector (C) to the high voltage side of the circuit.
   • Connect the emitter (E) to the low voltage side or ground.
   • Apply the gate (G) voltage carefully to control the switching operation.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Use a heatsink with adequate thermal conductivity to maintain the junction temperature within safe limits.
   • Ensure good thermal contact between the device and the heatsink.

4. Operating Conditions:

   • Do not exceed the maximum ratings specified in the table.
   • Operate within the recommended operating conditions to ensure reliability and longevity.

5. Pulse Operation:

   • For pulse applications, ensure that the pulse duration and frequency do not exceed the safe operating area (SOA) of the device.

6. Storage and Transportation:

   • Store the device in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture damage.
   • Handle with care during transportation to avoid mechanical stress.

7. Testing and Troubleshooting:

   • Use appropriate test equipment to verify the functionality of the device.
   • If issues arise, check for proper connections, correct voltage levels, and thermal management.
