Thyristors and Triggers Motorolas extensive line of thyristors consists of two generic component categories SCRs and Triacs. Within each of these categories are two basic packaging divisions, plastic and metal plastic for lowest cost and metal hermetically sealed packages for applications requiring highest reliability. Combined, these divisions include a large number of individual devices covering a forward-current range from 0.8 to 80 Amperes and a blocking voltage range from 15 to 800 Volts. But the availability of devices for a wide range of current and voltage requirements doesnt begin to tell the whole story. For within the large selection of different series numbers are device families with characteristics designed for specifically designated applications. Here are some examples of preferred device families for the more high-volume applications, and for special unique purposes. Thyristor Devices SCRs in Plastic Packages Excellent reliability and low cost make Motorola plastic-packaged thyristors the preferred devices for high-volume, low and medium current applications. Batch-processed, high-impact plastic provides outstanding mechanical ruggedness while oxide or glass surface passivation protects each die against impurity contamination and moisture penetration for long-term electrical stability.
