NTE5480 thru NTE5487
Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR)
8 Amp
Description:
The NTE5480 through NTE5487 are multi–purpose PNPN silicon controlled rectifiers in a TO64 type
package suited for industrial and consumer applications. These 8 amp devices are available in volt-
ages ranging from 25V to 600V.

Note 1. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage. Devices should not be tested for blocking
capability in a manner such that the voltage applied exceeds the rated blocking voltage.
Note 2. Devices should not be operated with a positive bias applied to the gate concurrently with a
negative potential applied to the anode.
