Handling Precautions: The 2SC3457 is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Handle with care and use proper anti-static measures.
Mounting: Ensure the transistor is mounted on a suitable heatsink if operating at high power levels to maintain junction temperature within specified limits.
Biasing: Carefully set the base current (IB) to achieve the desired collector current (IC) while ensuring hFE variations are accounted for in design.
Operating Conditions: Do not exceed the maximum ratings listed in the table. Pay special attention to VCEO, VCBO, and VEBO to prevent breakdown.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat when not in use.
Testing: When testing the device, ensure all voltages and currents are within safe operating areas to avoid damage.
