These ratings apply to each individual FET.
Junction operating temperature will directly affect the device median time to failure (T
M
). For
maximum life, it is recommended that junction temperatures be maintained at the lowest possible
levels.
When operated at this bias condition with a base plate temperature of 70 C, the median life is
4.3E+6 hrs.
