2N3439 Applications; High Voltage & High Power Amplifiers
2N3439 Temperature-Power Derating Curve
Use the Graph to determine power dissipation based on operational ambient temperature. Attaching a heat sink to the metal can will allow the device to operate at a higher temperature with out the need to reduce power consumption. Transistor Derating Curves
Temperature derating is a standard design practice for electrical engineers.
