Mounting: Ensure the transistor is mounted with proper heat dissipation methods, especially considering its maximum power dissipation capability.
Biasing: Carefully set up biasing networks to operate within the specified collector current limits to avoid damage.
Handling: Handle the device with care to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) which can damage sensitive components.
Temperature Monitoring: Monitor operating temperatures to ensure they remain within the operational junction temperature range.
Voltage Ratings: Do not exceed the maximum voltage ratings between any two pins to prevent breakdown or permanent damage.
Pulsed Operation: When using in pulsed applications, ensure that peak currents do not exceed the pulse current rating.
Storage Conditions: Store in a controlled environment within the storage temperature range to maintain device integrity.
