Installation: Ensure the BTB16-800 is installed in a circuit where its maximum ratings are not exceeded. Pay special attention to the repetitive peak off-state voltage and on-state current ratings.
Triggering: To turn on the device, apply a gate trigger voltage between 1.5V and 4V with a gate trigger current of at least 10mA but not exceeding 50mA.
Heat Management: Given the power dissipation capability of up to 110W, ensure adequate heat sinking or cooling to manage the junction temperature within the operating range of -55°C to 125°C.
Storage and Handling: Store the device in an environment where the temperature does not exceed 150°C and does not drop below -55°C.
Safety Precautions: Always handle the device with care to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use appropriate ESD protection measures during handling and installation.
