The Sxx10x SCR series is designed for uni-directional switch applications including phase control, heating, motor speed controls, converters/rectifiers, and capacitive discharge ignitions. These SCRs feature a low gate current trigger level (0.2 to 15 mA at approximately 1.5V). A sensitive version offers a gate trigger current less than 500A, making it easily triggered by sense coils, proximity switches, and microprocessors. Internally constructed isolated packages are available for simplified heat sinking with high isolation voltage.
