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.
