2 Recommended Operating Conditions
This following table shows examples of recommended operating conditions. As long as maximum ratings are
regarded operation outside these conditions is permitted, but increases failure rate and reduces lifetime. For
further information refer to the quality report available on the BFQ790 internet page.

is the thermal resistance of the pcb including heat sink, that is between the soldering point S and
the ambient A. Regard the impact of R

on the junction temperature T

depends on the junction temperature
T

and T
J
amongst others from the thermal resistance R
THSA
of the pcb, see notes to Table 3. Hence the h

circuit design techniques to make the collector current I

independent on the h

production variation
and temperature eects.
