2SC5200 Safe Operating Guidelines

It is recommended not to push the 2SC5200 transistor to its absolute limits. It's best to stay at least 20% below its maximum ratings. For example, while it can handle a maximum load of 15A, it's safer to avoid exceeding 12A. Similarly, its maximum load voltage is 230V, so it's advisable to stay below 184V. Additionally, ensure the transistor's temperature stays between -55°C and 150°C for proper operation.
