Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the Componant. 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 Componant reliability.
1. V DRM 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 Componants are exceeded.
2. Case 369C when surface mounted on minimum pad sizes recommended.
