Note 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.
Note 2: Torque rating applies with use of compression washer. Mounting torque in excess of 6 in. lb. does not appreciably lower case-to-sink thermal resistance. Anode lead and
heatsink contact pad are common. Soldering temperature shall not exceed 200°C. For optimum results, an activated flux is recommended.
