TN1215, TS1220
TYN612, TYN812, TYN1012
Sensitive and standard 12 A SCRs
Features
■On-state rms current, IT(RMS) 12 A
■Repetitive peak off-state voltage, VDRM/VRRM
600 to 1000 V
■Triggering gate current, IGT 0.2 to 15 mA
Description
Available either in sensitive (TS1220) or standard
(TN1215 / TYNx12) gate triggering levels, the
12 A 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.
