1. VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage;
(cont.)
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.
Preferred devices are Motorola recommended choices for future use and best overall value.

1. Torque rating applies with use of compression washer (B52200-F006 or equivalent). 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. (See AN209B).
For soldering purposes (either terminal connection or device mounting), soldering temperatures shall not exceed +200
C. For optimum
results, an activated flux (oxide removing) is recommended.
2. RGK current is not included in measurement.
