Motorola MCR225FP Series Reverse Blocking Thyristor Datasheet
This document provides technical data for the Motorola MCR225FP Series Reverse Blocking Thyristors, which 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.
The datasheet specifies maximum ratings including a blocking voltage up to 800 Volts and a peak non-repetitive surge current of 300 Amps. It details electrical characteristics such as gate trigger current and voltage, thermal resistance values, and typical performance curves for average current and power dissipation. Package dimensions for Case 221C-02 are also provided.
