I'm trying to decipher the diagram on page two of the datasheet:
http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/389/tip102-957196.pdf
So the Y axis is 0 amps, 1 amps, 10 amps, 100 amps, and the X axis is 0 volts, 1 volt, 10 volts, 100 volts correct?
Can I just look up 1 amp and 10 volt, and observe that its under the "DC operation" curve and assume that I will not need a heat sink?
