Additional Details:
The 2N6399G has a repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) typically around 600V-800V, and a continuous on-state current (IT(RMS)) of several amperes. The gate trigger current (IGT) is relatively low. Exact specifications must be verified in the Littelfuse datasheet. It is typically packaged in a TO-220 or similar package for efficient heat dissipation. Proper heatsinking is usually required when operating at higher currents.
