MCR310 series are Motorola reverse blocking triode thyristors designed for industrial and consumer applications such as temperature, light and speed control; process and remote controls; warning systems; capacitive discharge circuits and MPU interface.
This document provides technical data for the Motorola MCR310 series of Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) and Reverse Blocking Triode Thyristors. Designed for industrial and consumer applications such as temperature, light, and speed control, these devices feature a center gate geometry for uniform current density and are housed in a TO-220AB package.
The datasheet details maximum ratings including peak repetitive forward and reverse blocking voltages ranging from 400 to 800 volts, and an on-state RMS current of 10 amperes. It also lists electrical characteristics such as gate trigger current, holding current, and thermal resistance values, along with application-specific graphs for current derating and power dissipation.
| Peak Repetitive Forward Blocking Voltage | 400, 600, 800 Volts |
