Operating Junction Temperature Range TJ-40 to +125 °C
Storage Temperature Range Tstg -40 to +150 °C
Maximum Ratings (TJ = 25°C unless otherwise noted)
Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the
Recommended Operating Conditions may affect device reliability.
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.
