8 Amp Sensitive & Standard SCRs
Sxx08xSx & Sxx08x Series
Description
RoHS
Excellent unidirectional switches for phase control
applications such as heating and motor speed controls.
Sensitive gate SCRs are easily triggered with microAmps
of current as furnished by sense coils, proximity switches,
and microprocessors.
Standard phase control SCRs are triggered with few
milliamperes of current at less than 1.5V potential.
Features & Benefits
• RoHS compliant
• Glass – passivated
junctions
Agency Approval
Agency
Agency File Number
L Package: E71639
• Voltage capability up
to 1000 V
• Surge capability up
to 100 A
Applications
Typical applications are capacitive discharge systems for
strobe lights, nailers, staplers and gas engine ignition. Also
controls for power tools, home/brown goods and white
goods appliances.
