These values apply bidirectionally for any value of resistance between the gate and Main Terminal 1. 2. This value applies for 50-Hz full-sine-wave operation with resistive load. Above 70°C derate linearly to 110°C case temperature at the rate of 400 mA/°C. 3. This value applies for one 50-Hz full-sine-wave when the device is operating at (or below) the rated value of peak reverse volta ge and on-state current. Surge may be repeated after the device has returned to original thermal equilibrium. electrical characteristics at 25°C case temperature (unless otherwise noted ) PARAMETER IDRM IGT VGT VT TEST CONDITIONS Repetitive peak off-state current VD = rated VDRM IG = 0 MIN TYP TC = 110°C MAX UNIT ±2 mA Vsupply = +12 V† RL = 10 Ω tp(g) > 20 µs 12 50 Gate trigger Vsupply = +12 V† RL = 10 Ω tp(g) > 20 µs -19 -50 current Vsupply = -12 V† RL = 10 Ω tp(g) > 20 µs -16 -50 Vsupply = -12 V† RL = 10 Ω tp(g) > 20 µs 34 Vsupply = +12 V† RL = 10 Ω tp(g) > 20 µs 0.8 2 Gate trigger Vsupply = +12 V† RL = 10 Ω tp(g) > 20 µs -0.8 -2 voltage Vsupply = -12 V† RL = 10 Ω tp(g) > 20 µs -0.8 -2 Vsupply = -12 V† RL = 10 Ω tp(g) > 20 µs 0.9 2 On-state voltage ITM = ±22.5 A IG = 50mA (see Note 4) ±1.4 ±1.7 mA V V † All voltages are with respect to Main Terminal 1.
