MCR16NG
Silicon Controlled Rectifiers
Reverse Blocking Thyristors
Designed primarily for half−wave ac control applications, such as motor controls, heating controls, and power supplies; or wherever half−wave, silicon gate−controlled devices are needed.
Features
• Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts • On−State Current Rating of 16 Amperes RMS • High Surge Current Capability − 160 Amperes • Rugged Economical TO−220AB Package • Glass Passivated Junctions for Reliability and Uniformity • Minimum and Maximum Values of IGT, VGT, and IH Specified for
Ease of Design
• High Immunity to dv/dt − 100 V/msec Minimum at 125°C • These are Pb−Free Devices
