Good design practice should limit the maximum continuous current through the main terminals to 75% of the component rating. Other ways to ensure long life for a power discrete semiconductor are proper heat sinking and selection of voltage ratings for worst case conditions. Overheating, overvoltage (including dv/dt), and surge currents are the main killers of semiconductors. Correct mounting, soldering, and forming of the leads also help protect against component damage. **==> picture [243 x 150] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> t P<br>T P<br>Ramp-up<br>T S(max) T L t L<br>Ramp-down<br>Preheat<br>T S(min)<br>t S<br>25<br>time to peak temperature Time<br>Temperature<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## **Environmental Specifications** **==> picture [246 x 231] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Test Specifications and Conditions<br>MIL-STD-750, M-1040, Cond A Applied<br>AC Blocking<br>Peak AC voltage @ 110°C for 1008 hours<br>MIL-STD-750, M-1051,<br>Temperature Cycling 100 cycles; -40°C to +150°C; 15-min<br>dwell time<br>EIA / JEDEC, JESD22-A101<br>Temperature/<br>1008 hours; 320V - DC: 85°C; 85%<br>Humidity<br>rel humidity<br>MIL-STD-750, M-1031,<br>High Temp Storage<br>1008 hours; 150°C<br>Low-Temp Storage 1008 hours; -40°C<br>EIA / JEDEC, JESD22-A102<br>Autoclave 168 hours (121°C at 2 ATMs) and<br>100% R/H<br>Resistance to<br>MIL-STD-750 Method 2031<br>Solder Heat<br>Solderability ANSI/J-STD-002, category 3, Test A<br>Lead Bend MIL-STD-750, M-2036 Cond E<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **Q6012xH1LED series** ©2019 Littelfuse, Inc Specifications are subject to change without notice.
