There are two limitations on the power handling ability of a transistor:
average junction temperature and second breakdown safe operating
area curves indicate I c- V
subjected to greater dissipation than the curves indicate.
The data of Figure - 6 is based on T
depending on power level. Second breakdown pulse limits are valid for
duty cycles to 10% provided T
temperatures, thermal limitation will reduce the power that can be
handled to values less than the limitations imposed by second
breakdown.
