Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality should not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
1. The 1.0 A max IC value is based upon JEDEC current gain requirements. The 3.0 A max value is based upon actual current−handling capability of the device (See Figure 5).
2. Indicates JEDEC Registered Data for 2N4918 Series.
