VCE, COLLECTOR–EMITTER VOLTAGE (VOLTS)

There are two limitations on the power handling ability of a
transistor; average junction temperature and secondary
breakdown. Safe operating area curves indicate IC – VCE
limits of the transistor that must be observed for reliable
operation; i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to
greater dissipation than the curves indicate.
The data of Figure 13 is based on TJ(pk) = 200°C; TC is
variable depending on conditions. At high case tempera-
tures, thermal limitations will reduce the power than can be
handled to values less than the limitations imposed by
second breakdown.
