Overview
The Littelfuse MCR72-3G is an 8 Amp Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) housed in a TO-220AB package. It features a peak repetitive off-state voltage of 100 V and supports an on-state RMS current of 8.0 A at 180-degree conduction angles with a case temperature of 83°C. The device exhibits a maximum gate trigger current of 200 µA and a holding current of 6.0 mA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to +110°C, with a thermal resistance from junction to case of 2.2 °C/W.
Feature Summary
- Center gate geometry ensures uniform current density across the silicon chip.
- All diffused and glass-passivated junctions provide parameter stability and reliability.
- Thermowatt construction offers low thermal resistance for high heat dissipation.
Applications
- Industrial and consumer temperature control systems
- Light and speed control circuits
- Process and remote control applications
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific part number suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm lead-free status and packaging configuration. Confirm that the selected component meets the required voltage ratings for the intended circuit design before finalizing procurement orders.
Selection Notes
Select this component based on its 100 V blocking capability and 8 A continuous current rating. Ensure the application requires a gate trigger current below 200 µA for direct integration with standard logic interfaces. Verify thermal management requirements align with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance.
Part Context
This device belongs to the MCR72 series of 8 Amp SCRs manufactured by Littelfuse. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as the MCR72-6 and MCR72-8. All models share the same physical package and core electrical characteristics regarding current handling and triggering sensitivity.
Replacement Considerations
Compatible replacements include the MCR72-6G and MCR72-8G. These parts maintain identical pinouts and current ratings but offer higher voltage blocking capabilities of 400 V and 600 V respectively.
