There are two limitations on the power handling ability of a transistor:

average junction temperature and second breakdown safe operating

area curves indicate IC-VCE limits of the transistor that must be

observed for reliable operation i.e., the transistor must not be

subjected to greater dissipation than the curves indicate.The data of

Figure - 3 is based on TC = 150°C; TJ(PK) is variable depending on

power level. Second breakdown pulse limits are valid for duty cycles

to 10% but must be derated for temperature.
