Motorola Thyristor Device Data

Silicon Controlled Rectifiers

Reverse Blocking Thyristors

Designed for high volume, low cost, industrial and consumer applications

such as motor control; process control; temperature, light and speed control.

• Small Size

• Passivated Die for Reliability and Uniformity

• Low Level Triggering and Holding Characteristics

• Available in Two Package Styles

Surface Mount Lead Form — Case 369A

Miniature Plastic Package — Straight Leads — Case 369

ORDERING INFORMATION

• To Obtain “DPAK” in Surface Mount Leadform (Case 369A)

Shipped in Sleeves — No Suffix, i.e. MCR8DCN

Shipped in 16 mm Tape and Reel — Add “T4” Suffix to Device Number,

i.e. MCR8DCNT4

• To Obtain “DPAK” in Straight Lead Version (Case 369) Shipped in Sleeves —

Add “–1” Suffix to Device Number, i.e. MCR8DCN–1

(1) VDRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage; positive gate voltage shall not be

applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode. Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the

voltage ratings of the device are exceeded.

(2) Surface mounted on minimum recommended pad size.

(3) 1/8
