DESCRIPTION
The MSS40 family are constitued of two general
purpose SCR. Suitable for AC switching and
phase control on resistive and inductive load up
to 400 Hz.
The small volume (7cm3) and weight (29g) of the
isotop package are well adapted to new generation of medium size module market applications.
