- Observe correct polarity during installation; the cathode is marked with a color band.
- For capacitive loads, derate the average forward current by 20% to prevent thermal runaway.
- Use in freewheeling applications to protect against voltage spikes caused by inductive loads.
Safety and Compliance
- Compliant with RoHS directives.
- Epoxy meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
- Leads are solderable per MIL-STD-202E, method 208C.
