1. This average forward current is for an ambient temperature of 80°C and 180 electrical degrees of conduction.
2. Surge current is non-recurrent. The rate of rise of peak surge current shall not exceed 40 A during the first 5 µs after switching from the
‘off’ (blocking) to the ‘on’ (conducting) state. This is measured from the point where the thyristor voltage has decayed to 90% of its initial
blocking value.
3. Gate connected to cathode through 1,000 ohm resistor.
4. Gate connected to cathode through 2,000 ohm resistor.

true position (TP) at maximum material condition (MMC) relative to tab at MMC. The device may be measured by direct methods or by
gauging procedure.
8. Dimension LU applies between L, and L,. Dimension LD applies between L, and LL minimum. Diameter is uncontrolled in and beyond LL
minimum.
9. All three leads.
10. The collector shall be internally connected to the case.
11. Dimension r (radius) applies to both inside corners of tab.
12. In accordance with ASME Y14.5M, diameters are equivalent to Фx symbology.
13. Lead 1 = cathode, lead 2 = gate, lead 3 = anode. The anode shall be internally connected to the case.
14. For non-S-suffix devices (T0-5), dimension LL = 1.5 inches (38.10 mm) min. and 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) max. For S-suffix types (T0-39),
dimension LL = 0.5 inch (12.70 mm) min. and 750 inch (19.05 mm) max.
