Motorola, Inc. 1995
Reverse Blocking Triode Thyristors
. . . PNPN devices designed for high volume, low cost consumer applications such as
temperature, light and speed control; process and remote control; and warning
systems where reliability of operation is critical.
Small Size
Passivated Die Surface for Reliability and Uniformity
Low Level Triggering and Holding Characteristics
Recommend Electrical Replacement for C106
Available in Two Package Styles:
Surface Mount Leadforms — Case 369A
Miniature Plastic Package — Straight Leads — Case 369
ORDERING INFORMATION
To Obtain “DPAK” in Surface Mount Leadform (Case 369A):
Shipped in Sleeves — No Suffix, i.e., MCR706A
Shipped in 16 mm Tape and Reel — Add “RL” Suffix to Device Number, i.e.,
MCR706ARL
To Obtain “DPAK” in Straight Lead Version:
Shipped in Sleeves — Add ‘1’ Suffix to Device Number, i.e., MCR706A1

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.
Preferred
devices are Motorola recommended choices for future use and best overall value.
