Motorola Thyristor Device Data
Silicon Controlled Rectifiers
Reverse Blocking Triode Thyristors
. . . PNPN devices designed for high volume, low cost consumer applications such as
temperature, light and speed control; process and remote control; and warning
systems where reliability of operation is critical.
Small Size
Passivated Die Surface for Reliability and Uniformity
Low Level Triggering and Holding Characteristics
Recommend Electrical Replacement for C106
Available in Two Package Styles:
Surface Mount Leadforms -- Case 369A
Miniature Plastic Package -- Straight Leads -- Case 369
ORDERING INFORMATION

1. VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or
negative gate voltage; however, 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 devices are exceeded.
Preferred devices are Motorola recommended choices for future use and best overall value.
