Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur.
Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not TIP41A TO−220AB 50 Units / Rail
normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits
are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur TIP41B TO−220AB 50 Units / Rail
and reliability may be affected.
