2N3668 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 2N3668 from RCA is a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) suitable for power control and switching applications. This device is housed in a TO-3 package.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a non-repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150V and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 100V. The forward current is rated at 8A average DC value at a case temperature of 80°C, with an RMS value of 12.5A. The peak surge current capability is 200A for a single cycle at 60Hz and 80°C case temperature.

 

Further specifications include a forward voltage drop of up to 1.8V at 25A and a DC gate-trigger current of up to 40mA at 25°C. The holding current is a maximum of 50mA at 25°C. The operating case temperature range is -40°C to +100°C, and storage temperature ranges from -40°C to +125°C.

 

This SCR is available in standard and RoHS compliant versions. High-reliability screening per MIL-PRF-19500, JANTX level, is also available.
