High-temperature SCRs are designed for 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.

Featuring a high temperature design (150 °C), the device maintains a good voltage drop, which allows high current density in the circuits or smaller heatsinks. The sensitive gate allows a current down to 5 mA to trigger IC drive.

These SCRs are now available in 12 A, with two package versions.
