3. Compare maximum operating voltages and maximum
interrupt currents.
Look down the first column of the table below to find the part number
you selected in Step 1. Look to the right in that row to find the device’s
maximum operating voltage (V max.) and maximum interrupt current
(I max.).
Compare both ratings with the circuit’s to be sure the circuit’s ratings
do not exceed those of the RGE device.
