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 I
C
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.
