Important
Insulated gate FET transistors are susceptible to damage
from static charges, due to their extremely high input resist-
ance. To avoid possible damage to the device during han-
dling, testing or actual operation, we recommend you fol-
low these procedures: avoid unnecessary handling; when
handling the device, pick it up by the cap, not the leads; do
not insert or remove the device while the power is on;
avoid contact with non-conductive plastic or non-conduc-
tive styrofoam.
