Repetitive peak off-state voltage (see Note 1)
Full-cycle RMS on-state current at (or below) 50°C case temperature (see Note 2) I
Peak on-state surge current full-sine-wave (see Note 3) I
Peak gate current I
Operating case temperature range T
Storage temperature range T
Lead temperature 1.6 mm from case for 10 seconds T
NOTES: 1. These values apply bidirectionally for any value of resistance between the gate and Main Terminal 1.
2. This value applies for 50-Hz full-sine-wave operation with resistive load. Above 50°C derate linearly to 110°C case temperature at
the rate of 625 mA/°C.
3. This value applies for one 50-Hz full-sine-wave when the device is operating at (or below) the rated value of peak reverse voltage
and on-state current. Surge may be repeated after the device has returned to original thermal equilibrium.
