DATA SHEET| JUNE 14, 2006
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

(1) Absolute maximum data are limited to system design only; proper device performance is not guaranteed over rating listed above. Operation
beyond these maximum conditions may degrade device performance, lead to device failure, shorter lifetime, and will invalidate the device
warranty
(2) TEC current should not exceed 2.0 A during turn on, and case temperature under any conditions should not change faster than 10 oC / min
(3) Soldering iron only; no reflow or dip soldering allowed.
(4) See mounting recommendations below
