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 85 °C derate linearly to 110 °C case temperature at
the rate of 320 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 on-state current. Surge
may be repeated after the device has returned to original thermal equilibrium. During the surge, gate control may be lost.
4. This value applies for a maximum averaging time of 20 ms.

NOTE A: The gate-current pulse is furnished by a trigger circuit which presents essentially an open circuit between pulses. The pulse is timed
so that the off-state-voltage duration is approximately 800 µs.
