EV Series 0.8 Amp Sensitive SCRs
SxX8xSx Series
Description
RoHS
This new sensitive SCR component series offers a high
static dv/dt with a low turn off (tq) time. It is specifically
designed for GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) and
Gas Ignition applications. All SCRs junctions are glass-
passivated to ensure long term reliability and parametric
stability.

Design Considerations
Careful selection of the correct component for the
application’s operating parameters and environment will
go a long way toward extending the operating life of the
Thyristor. Good design practice should limit the maximum
continuous current through the main terminals to 75% of
the component rating. Other ways to ensure long life for
a power discrete semiconductor are proper heat sinking
and selection of voltage ratings for worst case conditions.
Overheating, overvoltage (including dv/dt), and surge
currents are the main killers of semiconductors. Correct
mounting, soldering, and forming of the leads also help
protect against component damage.
