About this manual

This document provides technical data for the Motorola MCR106 Series Reverse Blocking Triode Thyristors (PNPN devices). These components are designed for high volume consumer applications such as temperature, light, and speed control, as well as process and remote control systems. The series includes models with blocking voltages ranging from 60V to 600V and an RMS forward current of 4 Amps.

The datasheet details maximum ratings, including peak repetitive forward and reverse blocking voltages, average forward current, and surge current capabilities. It also lists electrical characteristics such as gate trigger current and voltage, holding current, and thermal resistance values. Package dimensions for the TO-225AA case are provided, along with current derating curves for ambient and case temperatures.
