Notes:
1. Measurements made with a 10 Ohm shorting resistor connected between the gate and cathode.
2. Case Exterior Assummed to be 0.002" of 63Sn/37Pb solder applied directly to cathode bond area of ThinPak.
3. Performance guarenteed by design only.
4. Production testing is limited to 2KV prior to encapsulation.
5. Characterization accomplished using R
