TN8, TS8 and TYNx08 Series

SENSITIVE & STANDARD

8A SCRs

April 2002 - Ed: 4A

MAIN FEATURES:

DESCRIPTION

Available either in sensitive (TS8) or standard

(TN8 / TYN) gate triggering levels, the 8A SCR

series is suitable to fit all modes of control, found

in applications such as overvoltage crowbar

protection, motor control circuits in power tools

and kitchen aids, inrush current limiting circuits,

capacitive

discharge

ignition

and

voltage

regulation circuits...

Available

in

through-hole

or

surface-mount

packages, they provide an optimized performance

in a limited space area.
