TN8, TS8 and TYNx08 Series
SENSITIVE & STANDARD 8A S CRs
April 2002 - Ed: 4A
MAIN FEATUR ES:
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
pack ages, they provide an optim ized performance
in a limited space area.
