Littelfuse SJxx08xSx 8A High-Temperature SCR Thyristor tolerates insufficient cooling and higher inrush current at startup. This SCR thyristor features a 6mA low gate current trigger level or 15mA maximum at approximately 1.5V. The SJxx08xSx SCR thyristor also features smaller heat sinks, high junction temperature, up to 600V voltage capability, longer field life, and wide operating margins. This SCR thyristor is Halogen-free and RoHS-compliant. The SJxx08xSx SCR thyristor is ideal for generic rectifiers, battery voltage regulators and converters, a capacitive discharge systems for motorcycle engine CDI, and switching applications.
