Key Featrues

High Voltage Handling (400V): The SCR C106D1G can handle up to 400V in both off-state and reverse voltage conditions, making it suitable for high-voltage applications such as power supplies, motor control, and industrial equipment. This feature ensures reliable performance in environments with significant voltage fluctuations.
Sensitive Gate Triggering (200 µA Max): With a low gate trigger current of 200 µA, this SCR is highly sensitive, allowing it to be controlled with minimal input power. This feature enhances energy efficiency and makes it ideal for low-power control circuits or battery-operated devices.
High Surge Current Capability (20A): The device can handle non-repetitive surge currents up to 20A, providing robust protection against transient overloads. This makes it suitable for applications like surge protection circuits or systems exposed to sudden current spikes.
Wide Operating Temperature Range (-40°C to 110°C): The SCR operates reliably across a broad temperature range, from -40°C to 110°C. This feature ensures consistent performance in extreme environments, such as automotive or outdoor industrial applications.
Compact TO-225 Package: The SCR is housed in a TO-225AA (TO-126-3) package, which is compact and easy to mount. This small form factor allows for space-efficient designs in PCB layouts, making it suitable for applications where board space is limited.

Applications

Motor Control Circuitry: The SCR C106D1G is well-suited for controlling the speed and direction of small to medium-sized motors in industrial equipment. Its sensitive gate and high current handling capabilities make it ideal for use in motor drive circuits, ensuring reliable switching and protection against voltage spikes in applications like conveyor systems or robotic arms.
Power Supply Regulation: This SCR can be used in power supply circuits to regulate and stabilize output voltage. Its ability to handle high voltages and currents makes it suitable for use in AC-to-DC converters or battery charging systems, where precise control over power delivery is required.
Lighting Control Systems: The C106D1G is an excellent choice for dimming and switching applications in lighting systems, such as stage lighting or industrial lighting setups. Its sensitive gate allows for precise control of light intensity, while its robust design ensures durability in high-power environments.
Overvoltage Protection: This SCR can be integrated into circuits to provide overvoltage protection for sensitive electronic components. Its fast switching capability and high voltage rating make it ideal for clamping excessive voltage spikes in power distribution systems or electronic devices, safeguarding them from damage.
