NOTES: 1. These values apply bidirectionally for any value of resistance between the gate and Main Terminal 1. 2. This value applies for 50-Hz full-sine-wave operation with resistive load. Above 70C derate linearly to 110C case temperature at the rate of 400 mA/C. 3. This value applies for one 50-Hz full-sine-wave when the device is operating at (or below) the rated value of peak reverse voltage and on-state current. Surge may be repeated after the device has returned to original thermal equilibrium.
