12 Amp Standard SCRs
Sxx12x Series
Description
RoHS
Excellent unidirectional switches for phase control and
general switching applications such as heating, motor
control controls, converters / rectifiers and capacitive
discharge ignitions.
Standard phase control SCRs are triggered with few
milliamperes of current at less than 1.5V potential.
Features & Benefits
• RoHS compliant
• Glass – passivated
junctions
Agency Approval
Agency
Agency File Number
L Package: E71639
• Voltage capability up
to 1000 V
• Surge capability up to
120 A
Applications
Typical applications includes capacitive discharge system
for motorcycle engine CDI, portable generator engine
ignition, strobe lights and nailers, as well as generic
rectifiers, battery voltage regulators and converters. Also
controls for power tools, home/brown good and white
goods appliances.
Internally constructed isolated packages are offered for
ease of heat sinking with highest isolation voltage.
