2. Each diode of the pair can be used up to 40 A provided the total current complies with the 40 A absolute maximum rating of

the TO-254AA.

3. Sinusoidal pulse of 10ms duration.

4. Guaranteed by design, characterization and test at 25°C of 10 parts per wafer lot.

6. Duration 5 seconds maximum with at least 3 minutes between consecutive temperature peaks.
