2N6504 Series
Preferred Device
Silicon Controlled Rectifiers
Reverse Blocking Thyristors
Designed primarily for half-wave ac control applications, such as
motor controls, heating controls and power supply crowbar circuits.
• Glass Passivated Junctions with Center Gate Fire for Greater
Parameter Uniformity and Stability
• Small, Rugged, Thermowatt Constructed for Low Thermal
Resistance, High Heat Dissipation and Durability
• Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts
• 300 A Surge Current Capability
• Device Marking: Logo, Device Type, e.g., 2N6504, Date Code
