Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These
are stress ratings only; and functional operation of the device at these or any other condition beyond those indicated in
the specifications is not implied.Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability. The thermal resistance and power dissipation ratings are measured under board mounted and still air conditions. Ambient temperature (TA) is 25°C, unless otherwise specified.

into the body, or in other applications intended to support or sustain life, or in any other application in which the failure
of the IR product could create a situation where personal injury or death may occur. Should Buyer purchase or use IR
products for any such unintended or unauthorized application, Buyer shall indemnify and hold International Rectifier and
its officers, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, and distributors harmless against all claims, costs, damages, and expenses, and reasonable attorney fees arising out of, directly or indirectly, any claim of personal injury or death associated with such unintended or unauthorized use, even if such claim alleges that IR was negligent regarding the design or
manufacture of the product.
Only products certified as military grade by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) of the US Department of Defense, are
designed and manufactured to meet DLA military specifications required by certain military, aerospace or other applications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any use of IR products not certified by DLA as military-grade, in applications
requiring military grade products, is solely at the Buyer’s own risk and that they are solely responsible for compliance
with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
IR products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific IR
products are designated by IR as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements and bear a part number including the designation “AU”. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated products in automotive applications, IR will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
