NOTES: 1. This value applies when the base-emitter resistance RBE = 100 Ω.
2. Derate linearly to 150°C case temperature at the rate of 0.72 W/°C.
3. Derate linearly to 150°C free air temperature at the rate of 28 mW/°C.
4. This rating is based on the capability of the transistor to operate safely in a circuit of: L = 20 mH, I
