Microsemi Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) Datasheet

Category: Electronics, Microsemi Corp, Trigger Devices

Overview

The datasheet provides technical information about various Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) designed by Microsemi. These SCRs are sorted based on ascending average operating current (IT(Av)) followed by ascending repetitive peak reverse voltage (Vrrm). Each device is listed alongside its specific electrical characteristics and package type. The datasheet outlines the Microsemi part number, the package type, military data standardization (MIL), average operating current (IT(Av)), repetitive peak reverse voltage (Vrrm), peak on-state voltage (VTM), gate trigger voltage (VGT), gate trigger current (IGT), typical gate-cathode charge (Qg), typical gate-cathode on-state voltage drop (Vgk), and operating temperature range. Additionally, information about response times, including thermal resistance junction to case (Rth(j-c)) and turn-off time (tq), is provided when applicable.

Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) Specifications

The datasheet lists various SCRs including the GA200 series, the 2N3027 series, and the JAN series, among others. These components are specified with different current ratings ranging from 0.2 to 1.25 amps and voltage ratings of up to 200 volts. The SCRs are encapsulated in TO-18 standard packages, offering a compact footprint for circuit integration. Quality levels are also noted, with certain parts meeting Joint Army-Navy (JAN) standards, and others compliant with more rigorous JANTX and JANTXV military specifications.
