Base current: The value of the dc current into the base terminal.
Collector current: The value of the dc current into the collector terminal.
Emitter current: The value of the dc current into the emitter terminal.
Ambient temperature: The air temperature measured below a device, in an environment of substantially uniform
temperature, cooled only by natural air convection and not materially affected by reflective and radiant surfaces.
Case temperature: The temperature measured at a specified location on the case of a device.
Collector-base voltage: The dc voltage between the collector and the base.
Collector-base voltage, base open: The voltage between the collector and base terminals when the emitter terminal is
open-circuited.
Collector-emitter voltage, base open: The voltage between the collector and the emitter terminals when the base
terminal is open-circuited.
Emitter-base voltage: The dc voltage between the emitter and the base.
Emitter-base voltage, collector open: The voltage between the emitter and base terminals with the collector terminal
open-circuited.
