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 SOA curve is based on TJ(PK) = 150°C; Tc is
variable depending on conditions. Second breakdown pulse
limits are valid for duty cycles to 10% provided TJ(PK)≤150°C, At
high case temperatures, thermal limitation will reduce the power
that can be handled to values less than the limitations imposed
by second breakdown.
