C106 Series
Preferred Devices
Sensitive Gate
Silicon Controlled Rectifiers
Reverse Blocking Thyristors
Glassivated PNPN devices designed for high volume consumer
applications such as temperature, light, and speed control; process and
remote control, and warning systems where reliability of operation is
important.
• Glassivated Surface for Reliability and Uniformity
• Power Rated at Economical Prices
• Practical Level Triggering and Holding Characteristics
• Flat, Rugged, Thermopad Construction for Low Thermal Resistance,
High Heat Dissipation and Durability
• Sensitive Gate Triggering
• Device Marking: Device Type, e.g., C106B, Date Code

1. VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings
apply for zero or negative gate voltage; however, positive gate voltage shall
not be applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode. Blocking
voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the
voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
2. Torque rating applies with use of compression washer (B52200F006).
Mounting torque in excess of 6 in. lb. does not appreciably lower case-to-sink
thermal resistance. Anode lead and heatsink contact pad are common.
