Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of debris to maintain optimal thermal contact.
• Use appropriate thermal interface material as specified by the manufacturer to ensure efficient heat dissipation.
• Handle with care to avoid damage to the gate terminals and ceramic housing; these components are sensitive to mechanical shock.
• Verify that the cooling system (liquid or air) is fully operational before applying power.
• Ensure all electrical connections are torqued to the manufacturer's specified values to prevent arcing or localized overheating.
• Always follow standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions during handling and installation.
