Handling Precautions:
- Use proper anti-static precautions when handling the device.
- Avoid exposing the device to temperatures outside its specified operating range.
Mounting:
- Ensure that the heatsink is properly attached if continuous operation near maximum power dissipation is expected.
- Follow manufacturer guidelines for mounting torque and thermal interface materials.
Electrical Connections:
- Connect the gate through a resistor to limit current during switching.
- Ensure all connections are secure and free from corrosion or oxidation.
Operation:
- Operate within the specified voltage and current limits to avoid damage.
- Monitor junction temperature especially under high load conditions to prevent overheating.
Testing:
- Perform initial testing with lower voltages and currents to ensure correct operation before full-scale deployment.
- Regularly inspect connections and components for signs of wear or damage.
Storage:
- Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
- Keep in original packaging until ready for use to protect against static discharge.
