MECHANICAL DIMENSIONS (inches)
Application Note: Customers should be aware that at the current stage of technical development of SiC, the reverse avalanche
capabilities of the device are limited. Customer designs will need to accommodate these limitations and avoid exposure of the
device to this and other potentially damaging conditions in their applications.
