MCR100 Series
Sensitive Gate
Silicon Controlled Rectifiers
Reverse Blocking Thyristors
PNPN devices designed for high volume, line-powered consumer
applications such as relay and lamp drivers, small motor controls, gate
drivers for larger thyristors, and sensing and detection circuits.
Supplied in an inexpensive plastic TO-226AA package which is
readily adaptable for use in automatic insertion equipment.

for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage; however, 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.
