Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers
. . . designed primarily for half-wave ac control applications, such as motor controls,
heating controls and power supplies; or wherever half-wave silicon gate-controlled,
solid-state devices are needed.
• Glass-Passivated Junctions
• Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts
• TO-220 Construction — Low Thermal Resistance, High Heat Dissipation and
Durability

/I and VRRM for all typescan be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply forzero or negative gate voltage; however, positive gate
voltage shall not be applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode. Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a constant current
source such that the voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
