**Internal Schematic Diagram** 

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 curves indicate. 

The data of SOA curve is based on TJ (PK) = 150°C; TC is variable depending on conditions. At high case temperatures, thermal limitation will reduce the power that can be handled to values less than the limitations imposed by second breakdown.
