1) Indicates pulse teat width ≤ 1 ms, duty cycle ≤ 1%
2) RGK = 1 KΩ included in measurement
3) Does not include RGK in measurement
4) VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on continous basis. Ratings apply for zero negative gate voltage; however,
positive gate voltage shall not be applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode. Blocking voltages shall not be
tested with a constant current sourse such that the voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
