operation. Collector load lines for specific circuits must
fall below the limits indicated by the applicable curve.

may be calculated from the data in
Figure 34. At high case or ambient temperatures,
thermal limitations will reduce the power that can be
handled to values less than the limitations imposed by the
secondary breakdown.
