UTC BT169 SCR
DESCRIPTION
The UTC BT169 is glass passivated, sensitive gate
thyristors in a plastic envelope, intended for use in
general purpose switching and phase control
applications. These devices are intended to be
interfaced directly to microcontrollers, logic integrated
circuits and other low power gate trigger circuits.
