Surface mounted on minimum recommended pad size. 3. Ratings apply for negative gate voltage or R = 1.0 k . Devices shall not have a positive gate voltage concurrently with a negative voltage GK on the anode. Devices should not be tested with a constant current source for forward and reverse blocking capability such that the voltage applied exceeds the rated blocking voltage. 4. Pulse Test Pulse Width 2.0 msec, Duty Cycle 2%. 5. R current not included in measurements.
