This document introduces the MCR16D, MCR16M and MCR16N three thyristor products for half-wave AC control applications, including blocking voltage, rated current, surge current, gate power, gate current, working temperature range and other parameters.
This document provides technical data for the Motorola MCR16 Series of Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) and Reverse Blocking Thyristors. These devices are designed primarily for half-wave AC control applications, including motor controls, heating controls, and power supplies. The series offers blocking voltages ranging from 400 to 800 volts and an on-state current rating of 16 amperes RMS.
| On-State RMS Current | 16 A |
|---|---|
| Peak Non-repetitive Surge Current | 160 A |
| Operating Junction Temperature Range | -40 to +125 °C |
| Peak Repetitive Off-State Voltage (MCR16D) | 400 Volts |
| Peak Repetitive Reverse Voltage (MCR16M) | 600 Volts |
| Peak Repetitive Reverse Voltage (MCR16N) | 800 Volts |
| Thermal Resistance — Junction to Case | 15 °C/W |
They are designed primarily for half-wave AC control applications, such as motor controls, heating controls, and power supplies.
The maximum blocking voltage is 800 volts.
The devices use the Industry Standard TO-220AB Package.
