Note 1. NTE5446 is a discontinued device and is replaced by NTE5448.
Note 2. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage but positive gate voltage shall not be applied
concurrently with a negative potential on the anode. When checking forward or reverse
blocking capability, thyristor devices should not be tested with a constant current source in
a manner that the voltage applied exceeds the rated blocking voltage.
