and Q3
■ Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts
■ On−State Current Rating of
16 Amperes RMS at 80°C
Additional Information
Resources
Accessories
■ High Surge Current Capability
− 150 Amperes
■ Industry Standard TO−220
Package for Ease of Design
■ Glass Passivated Junctions
for Reliability and Uniformity
■ These Devices are Pb−Free
and are RoHS Compliant

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the
Recommended Operating Conditions may affect device reliability.
1. VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage; 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.
