There are two limitation on the power handling ability of a transistor: average junction temperature and second breakdown safe operating area curves indicate IC-VCE limits of the transistor that must be observed for reliable operation i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to greater dissipation than the curves indicate. 

The data of Figure - 5 and 6 is base on TJ (PK) = 150°C; TC is variable depending on power level. Second breakdown pulse limits are valid for duty cycles to 10% provided TJ (PK) ≤150°C, At high case temperatures, thermal limitation will reduce the power that can be handled to values less than the limitations imposed by second breakdown.
