Thyristors Surface Mount 120V - 240V > MKP3V120, MKP3V240 Pb MKP3V120, MKP3V240 Description Bidirectional devices designed for direct interface with the ac power line. Upon reaching the breakover voltage in each direction, the device switches from a blocking state to a low voltage onstate. Conduction will continue like a Triac until the main terminal current drops below the holding current. The plastic axial lead package provides high pulse current capability at low cost. Glass passivation insures reliable operation. Features High Pressure Sodium Vapor Lighting Strobes and Flashers Ignitors High Voltage Regulators Pulse Generators Axial Lead Used to Trigger Gates of SCRs and Triac Indicates UL Registered File E128662 AXIAL LEAD These are PbFree Devices CASE 59 STYLE 2 Functional Diagram Additional Information Samples Datasheet Resources 2017 Littelfuse, Inc.
