## **Features** 

- On-state RMS current, IT(RMS) 12 A 

- Repetitive peak off-state voltage, VDRM/VRRM 600 V 

## **Applications** 

- Capacitive ignition circuit for motorcycle engine 

- DC brush motor drive for power tool or kitchen appliance 

- Gas ignitor circuit 

- Regulator driver for battery charger 

## **Description** 

Thanks to highly sensitive 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.
