Description

Electronic Component Model:MCR708A is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) that is designed for high volume, low cost consumer applications. It is used in temperature, light, and speed control, as well as process and remote control, and warning systems where reliability is critical. The MCR708A is known for its small size and passivated die surface, which ensures reliability and uniformity. It also has low level triggering and holding characteristics. This model is highly recommended as an electrical replacement for C106. It is available in two package styles: surface mount leadforms (Case 369A) and miniature plastic package with straight leads (Case 369).
