Stresses above those listed under “Absolute
Maximum Rating” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. All STANDARD units are packaged in Aluminum housings that are layered with electroless Nickel and then plated with Gold to eliminate contamination of other adjacent electronic components.
