Installation and Handling:
- Handle the device with care to avoid damage to the leads.
- Ensure proper heat sinking if operating near maximum current or power dissipation.
Electrical Connections:
- Connect the gate terminal (G) to the control circuitry.
- Main terminals (T1 and T2) should be connected to the load and power supply.
Operating Conditions:
- Ensure that the junction temperature does not exceed the maximum allowable limit.
- Check that the peak and RMS currents do not exceed the rated values to prevent overheating.
Safety Precautions:
- Use appropriate insulation and isolation measures when working with high voltages.
- Ensure the device is properly mounted on a heatsink to dissipate heat effectively.
Storage and Packaging:
- Store in a dry environment away from corrosive materials.
- Follow anti-static precautions to protect sensitive components.

Rated RMS On-State Current is specified at a case temperature of 40°C.
Peak On-State Current is tested at a junction temperature of 25°C.
Repetitive Peak Off-State Voltage is the maximum voltage the device can withstand repeatedly.
Non-Repetitive Peak Off-State Voltage is the maximum voltage the device can handle for non-repetitive events.
