1. VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage; however, positive gate
voltage shall not be applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode. Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a constant current
source such that the voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
2. Torque rating applies with use of torque washer (Shakeproof WD19523 or equivalent). Mounting torque in excess of 6 in. lb. does not
appreciably lower case-to-sink thermal resistance. Anode lead and heat sink contact pad are common. (See AN290 B)
For soldering purposes (either terminal connection or device mounting), soldering temperatures shall not exceed +225
°
C. For optimum
results, an activated flux (oxide removing) is recommended.
