The MCR102/3 is a reverse blocking triode thyristor manufactured by Motorola and is suitable for low cost, high volume consumer applications such as relay and lamp drivers, small motor controls, gate drivers for larger thyristors and sensing and detection circuits.
This document provides technical data for the Motorola MCR102 and MCR103, which are annular PNPN devices designed for low-cost, high-volume consumer applications such as relay and lamp drivers. These devices are supplied in an inexpensive plastic TO-226AA package suitable for automatic insertion equipment.
