for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings
apply for zero or negative gate voltage; however, positive gate voltage shall
not be applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode. Blocking
voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the
voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
2. Torque rating applies with use of compression washer (B52200F006).
Mounting torque in excess of 6 in. lb. does not appreciably lower case-to-sink
thermal resistance. Anode lead and heatsink contact pad are common.

Package Interchangeability
The dimensional diagrams below compare the critical dimensions of the ON Semiconductor
C-106 package with competitive devices. It has been demonstrated that the smaller dimensions of
the ON Semiconductor package make it compatible in most lead-mount and chassis-mount
applications. The user is advised to compare all critical dimensions for mounting compatibility.
