Variety of General Purpose Applications

Safe Operating Guidelines:

Here are some guidelines to safely operate the transistor.

• It is always suggested to not use the transistor to its absolute maximum ratings and stay at least 20% to 30% below these ratings.
• Check pin layout of the transistor before using in your circuit.
• Always store or operate it at temperature above -55°C and below +150°C.
