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 devices are needed.
•Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts
•On-State Current Rating of 16 Amperes RMS
•High Surge Current Capability Ð 160 Amperes
•Industry Standard TO±220AB Package for Ease of Design
•Glass Passivated Junctions for Reliability and Uniformity

(1) VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage; 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.
Preferred devices are Motorola recommended choices for future use and best overall value.
