limits of the transistor that must be observed for reliable
operation, i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to greater
dissipation than the curves indicate.
able depending on conditions. At high case temperatures,
thermal limitations will reduce the power that can be han-
dled to values less than the limitations imposed by second
breakdown.
There are two limitations on the power–handling ability
