Description:
The Powerex CR6CM Lead-mount
Phase Control SCRs are glass
passivated thyristors for use in
medium power control and rectification.These devices are molded
plastic types.
Features:
□ Easy Application for Printed
Circuits
□ Glass Passivated
□ High Surge Current
Applications:
□ Heater Control
□ Motor Control
□ Switching Mode Power Supply
□ ECR
□ Regulator for Motorcycles
Ordering Information:
Example: Select the complete six
or seven digit part number you
desire from the table - i.e.
CR6CM-8 is a 400 Volt, 6 Ampere
Phase Control SCR.
