There are two limitations on the power handling ability
of a transistor: average junction temperature and second
breakdown. Safe operating area curves indicate l

CE
limits of the transistor that must be observed for reliable
operation; i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to
greater dissipation than the curves indicate.
The data of fig.2 is based on T
J(pk)

C
is variable
depending on conditions. At high case temperatures, thermal
limitations will reduce the power that can be handled to values
less than the limitations imposed by second breakdown.
