This document describes the features and characteristics of reverse blocking thyristors, which are primarily designed for half-wave AC control applications such as motor controls, heating controls, and power supply crowbar circuits.
This document provides technical specifications for the MCR218-6FP and MCR218-10FP isolated thyristors. These devices are designed primarily for half-wave AC control applications, such as motor controls, heating controls, and power supply crowbar circuits. Key features include glass passivated junctions for parameter uniformity and a rugged thermowatt construction for high heat dissipation.
| Peak Repetitive Off-State Voltage (MCR218-6FP) | 400 Volts |
|---|---|
| Peak Repetitive Off-State Voltage (MCR218-10FP) | 800 Volts |
| On-State RMS Current | 8.0 Amps |
| Peak Nonrepetitive Surge Current | 100 Amps |
| Thermal Resistance, Junction to Case | 2 °C/W |
| Operating Junction Temperature | -40 to +125 °C |
They are designed primarily for half-wave AC control applications, such as motor controls, heating controls and power supply crowbar circuits.
The devices are housed in an ISOLATED TO-220FP package.
