Note: The Safe Operating Area (SOA) charts shown are a combination of the worst case secondary breakdown characteristics for the NPN/PNP pair, and the thermal curves demonstrating the power dissipation capability of the energized ZHB part (opposing NPN-PNP switched on) when mounted on a 50mm × 50mm FR4 PCB. The two cases show: 

- i) full copper present and 

ii) with minimal copper present — this being defined as an SM-8 footprint with 1.5mm tracks to the edge of the PCB. 

For example, on a 50mm × 50mm full copper PCB, the ZHB6718 will safely dissipate 2W under DC conditions, taking note of continuous current ratings and voltage limits. Higher powers can be tolerated for pulsed operation, while the shorter pulse widths (100μs and 1ms) being relevant for assessment of switching conditions.
