Toshiba SM16GZ47/SM16JZ47/SM16GZ47A/SM16JZ47A Bi-Directional Triode Thyristor Silicon Planar Type Handbook
The Toshiba SM16 series bi‑directional triode thyristors are silicon planar devices intended for AC power‑control applications such as industrial robotics, office equipment, and consumer electronics. The handbook provides electrical characteristics, maximum ratings, gate‑trigger behavior, and thermal data for the four part numbers SM16GZ47, SM16JZ47, SM16GZ47A, and SM16JZ47A.
Key specifications include RMS on‑state current, isolation voltage, peak off‑state voltage, and thermal limits. The document also outlines recommended usage ranges and restrictions, emphasizing that the devices are not suitable for safety‑critical or high‑reliability applications such as medical or aerospace equipment.
