Handling Precautions

2.1

General Precautions Regarding Semiconductor Products

Prohibited

The absolute maximum ratings of a semiconductor device are a set of ratings that must not be

exceeded, even for a moment. Do not exceed any of these ratings.

Exceeding the rating(s) may cause the device breakdown, damage or deterioration, and may result

injury by explosion or combustion.

Prohibited

Do not insert devices in the wrong orientation or incorrectly. Make sure that the positive and

negative terminals of power supplies are connected properly. Otherwise, the current or power

consumption may exceed the absolute maximum rating, and exceeding the rating(s) may cause

the device breakdown, damage or deterioration, and may result injury by explosion or combustion.

In addition, do not use any device that is applied the current with inserting in the wrong orientation

or incorrectly even just one time.

Prohibited

Do not touch the heat sink of the device while the device is on or immediately after the device has

been turned off.

Heat sinks become hot. Contact to the heat sink may result in a burn.

Prohibited

Do not touch the lead tips of a device.

Some devices have leads withsharp tips. Contact to sharp tips may result in a puncture wound.

Instructions

On the evaluation, inspection or test, be sure to connect the test equipment’s electrodes or probes

to the pins of the device before turning the power on. When you have finished, discharge any

electrical charge remaining in the device.

Insufficient connection, wrong power-on timing or incomplete discharge may cause electric shock,

resulting in injury.

Instructions

Check that there is no electrical leakage before grounding measuring equipment or a solder iron.

Electrical leakage may cause the device you are testing or soldering to electrically break down or

may cause electric shock.

Instructions

Always wear safety glasses when cutting the leads of a device with clippers or a similar tool.

Failure to do so may result in eye damage from the small shavings that fly off the cut ends.
