1. VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage; however, (cont.)
positive gate voltage shall not be applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode. Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a
constant current source such that the voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
Preferred devices are Motorola recommended choices for future use and best overall value.

1. Torque rating applies with use of compression washer (B52200F006). Mounting torque in excess of 6 in. lb. does not appreciably lower
case-to-sink thermal resistance. Anode lead and heatsink contact pad are common.
For soldering purposes (either terminal connection or device mounting), soldering temperatures shall not exceed +200
C. For optimum
results, an activated flux (oxide removing) is recommended.

Package Interchangeability
The dimensional diagrams below compare the critical dimensions of the Motorola C-106 package
with competitive devices. It has been demonstrated that the smaller dimensions of the Motorola
package make it compatible in most lead-mount and chassis-mount applications. The user is
advised to compare all critical dimensions for mounting compatibility.
