Thyristors and Triggers

In Brief . . .
Motorolas broad line of Thyristors includes. . . . A full line of TRIACs and SCRs covering a forward current range from 0.5 to 55 amperes and blocking voltages from 15 to 800 volts. Plastic package for lowest cost which includes the fully insulated plastic Case 221C (TO220 Isolated). An extensive line of trigger devices that includes SIDACs, PUTs and SBS. Then there are the special applications devices for Ignition circuits and Crowbar applications. Also included are isolated packaged devices for appliances and surface mount packages for surface mounting in spacesaving requirements. Finally, there is the continued Motorola investment in discreteproduct R & D producing new capabilities such as transient SIDACs for use in circuits sensitive to high voltage transients.
