A sensitive-gate SCR in a TO-92 case: 400V blocking, 0.8 A RMS, and it only needs 200 microamps on the gate to fire, which means a microcontroller pin or a photocell can trigger it directly. Once triggered it latches on and stays on until the current through it falls away - the behaviour that makes it useful for crowbar overvoltage protection, latching alarms, lamp and small motor control, and as the gate driver for a bigger thyristor.

Key features

  • 400V repetitive off-state voltage
  • 0.8 A RMS on-state current, 10 A surge
  • Sensitive gate - fires on 200 uA
  • Latches on until the current stops
  • Small TO-92 case, pins cathode, gate, anode
  • For crowbar protection and latching circuits
