2N6400 Series
Silicon Controlled Rectifiers
Reverse Blocking Thyristors
Designed primarily for half-wave ac control applications, such as
motor controls, heating controls and power supplies; or wherever
half−wave silicon gate−controlled, solid−state devices are needed.

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum
Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended
Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the
Recommended Operating Conditions may affect device reliability.

RRM
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.
