Safe Operating Guidelines / Absolute Maximum Ratings:

Follow the below guidelines to safely operate the transistor to get long term performance.

• To get long term performance it is important to check the absolute maximum ratings of the transistor and design the circuit that drives the transistor atleast 20% below from its absolute maximum ratings. Such as the maximum continuous collector current of the transistor is 10A therefore the driven load should be under 8A. The maximum collector to emitter voltage is 80V therefore the driven load should be under 64V.
• A proper heatsink is also essential to use with the transistor. A suitable heatsink dissipates transistor’s heat to air making the internal circuitry of the transistor under its max heat limits.
• Additionally do not store or operate the transistor at temperatures below -55 °C and above +150 °C.
