• Consider the possible temperature rise not only for the junction and case, but also for the outer leads.
• When designing a new equipment, always refer to the latest mounting instructions.
• Make sure you follow the instructions in the application manual for a detailed usage, PCB layout and the installation, etc.
• Please connect an adequate ceramic capacitor near the VCCH(U)-COM terminal, VCCH(V)-COM terminal, VCCH(W)-COM terminal and VCCL-COM terminal in order that VCCH(U), VCCH(V), VCCH(W) and VCCL terminal might be not directly impressed high frequency noise such as switching noise.
• When the noise is input to each control terminal of this product, this product may malfunction. Please confirm that neither the instable operation nor the malfunction occurs by the noise and use this product.
• When VB(U), VB(V) and VB(W) are less than VB(off) due to noise, the corresponding upper side IGBTs may turn OFF. Please connect an adequate ceramic capacitor near the VB(U)-VS(U) terminal , VB(V)-VS(V) terminal and VB(W)-VS(W) terminal, respectively
• The voltage of input signal must exceeds the threshold voltage.
• Use this product below the power cycle lifetime curve (Technical Document No .: MT6M14324). Power cycle withstand capability is classified to ΔTvj mode which is stated as above and ΔTC mode. Since the ΔTC power cycle lifetime of this product depends on the thermal stress due to the rise and fall of the case temperature (TC), the lifetime of this product is greatly affected by the cooling design of the equipment installing this product. If the case temperature rises and falls frequently, or if the operating time at high temperature is long, use this product with paying sufficient attention to the product lifetime.
• If excessive stress (tension, pushing, bending) is applied to the main terminal and control terminal, the terminal may be deformed and the case resin may crack, causing poor contact and poor insulation. For the maximum allowable stress of the main terminal and control terminal, refer to the application manual of each package.
• If excessive static electricity is applied to the terminals, this product may be broken.
• When handling this product, be careful to avoid any breakdown due to the static electricity, take measures against static electricity.
• When handling this product, hold the case (package body) and do not touch the terminals. In case of touching the terminals of this product, discharge static electricity adhering to body or clothing by grounding through a high impedance resistor (approx. 1MΩ) before touching.
• Work on grounded conductive floor or table mat are recommended.
• When soldering, in order to protect this product from static electricity, use antistatic soldering iron or soldering bath to prevent static electricity, and solder with low impedance resistor between soldering iron and ground.
• When jointing this product terminals with solder, soldering at an excessive high temperature may  cause deterioration of the package. Please be careful about the soldering process. When used inthe reflow soldering process, the solder inside this product may remelt and impair its quality. In this case, Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. is not responsible for this product performance and appearance.
• Use the tightening torque of the screws that mounting the product within the specified values. If the tightening torque is excessive, insulation failure may occur due to cracking of the case, and if the torque is small, the contact thermal resistance may increase and the heat generation of the device may increase. In addition, it is expected that the screws will loosen due to vibrations in the usage environment, so select screws that are difficult to loosen, tighten with appropriate torque, and retighten to prevent loosening.
• The product mounting surface of the heat sink should have flatness of 50 μm or less per 100 mm between the screw mounting positions and surface roughness of 10 μm or less. Excessive convex warpage may cause isolation breakdown of this product, resulting in a serious accident. Excessive concave warpage or distortion may create gaps between the product and the heat sink, resulting in poor heat dissipation and thermal destruction. When mounting this product on a heat sink, use thermal grease or equivalent to ensure cooling. In order to spread the thermal grease thinly and evenly, the flatness and surface roughness of the heat sink should be within the recommended values described in this specification. Due to insufficient applied amount or improper spreading method, thermal grease may not spread sufficiently over the entire mounting surface of this product, leading to thermal destruction due to poor heat dissipation. When applying thermal grease, make sure that the thermal grease is spread over the entire surface of the product. (By removing this product after mounting, the spread of thermal grease can be confirmed.)
• If the amount of thermal grease near this product mounting hole is excessive, the thermal grease acts as a spacer, hindering the spread of the thermal grease and causing deterioration of heat dissipation. In addition, depending on the type or application method of thermal grease, deterioration or depletion of thermal grease may occur during high-temperature operation or temperature cycle, which may shorten this product lifetime. Pay close attention to the selection and application method of the thermal grease. Please refer to the mounting instructions of this product for selection and application method of the thermal grease.
