The safe operating area curves indicate IC-VCE limits
belos which the device will not enter secondary break-
down. Collector load lines for specific circuits must fall
within the applicable safe area to avoid causing a
cata-strophic failure. To insure operating below the
maximum TJpower-temperature derating must be
observed for both steady state and pulse power
conditions
