Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure that the component is mounted on a PCB with proper thermal management to prevent overheating.
   • Use appropriate soldering techniques to avoid damage from excessive heat.

2. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the anode (A) and cathode (K) terminals correctly to avoid reverse bias, which can damage the component.
   • Use current-limiting resistors to ensure the forward current (IF) does not exceed the maximum rating.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Ensure adequate cooling if the component is operated at high currents or in high ambient temperatures.
   • Consider using a heatsink if necessary.

4. Environmental Conditions:

   • Operate the component within the specified temperature ranges to ensure reliable performance.
   • Store the component in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage.

5. Handling:

   • Handle the component with care to avoid mechanical damage.
   • Use ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection when handling to prevent damage from static electricity.

6. Testing:

   • Use a suitable power supply and measurement equipment to test the component.
   • Verify the forward voltage (VF) and radiant intensity (Iv) to ensure the component is functioning correctly.

7. Compliance:

   • Ensure that the use of the component complies with all relevant safety and regulatory standards.
