Preferred Device
Silicon Controlled Rectifiers
Reverse Blocking Thyristors
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.
Features
• Glass-Passivated Junctions
• Blocking Voltage to 400 Volts
• TO-220 Construction − Low Thermal Resistance, High Heat
Dissipation and Durability
• Pb−Free Packages are Available*

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur.
Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not
normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are
exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and
reliability may be affected.
1. V_DRM and V_RRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings
apply for zero 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.
