About this manual

The S2800 series are high‑voltage, medium‑current silicon controlled rectifiers designed for switching AC and DC currents in applications such as lighting, motor speed control, and crow‑bars. They feature a multilayer glass passivation system, low switching losses, and high dv/dt and di/dt capabilities.

The devices are supplied in a JEDEC TO‑220AB package and include specifications for maximum ratings, surge current, power dissipation, and temperature limits. Detailed waveforms, gate‑trigger behavior, and holding current characteristics are provided for design engineers.
