Installation:
- Ensure the BTW48-600 is installed in a circuit where the peak off-state voltage does not exceed 600V.
- Verify that the peak reverse voltage also remains within the 600V limit.
Current Handling:
- The device can handle up to 480A during non-repetitive turn-on events but should not exceed 25A RMS continuous current at a case temperature of 100°C.
Triggering:
- Apply a gate trigger current between 10mA and 50mA to ensure reliable operation.
- Once triggered, maintain a holding current of at least 5mA to 15mA to keep the device in the on state.
Temperature Considerations:
- Operate the device within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
- Store the device in an environment with temperatures ranging from -55°C to 150°C.
Safety Precautions:
- Always use appropriate safety measures when handling high-voltage components.
- Ensure proper heat sinking if operating near the maximum temperature limits.
