This document describes the features and characteristics of reverse blocking thyristors, primarily used for half-wave AC control applications such as motor controls, heating controls, and power supplies. It has a blocking voltage of up to 800 volts, an on-state current rating of 12 amperes, and a high surge current capability of 100 amperes.
This document provides technical specifications for the MCR12D, MCR12M, and MCR12N reverse blocking thyristors. These devices are designed primarily for half-wave AC control applications, such as motor controls, heating controls, and power supplies. Key features include a blocking voltage up to 800 volts, an on-state current rating of 12 Amperes RMS, and a rugged TO-220AB package.
