Notes:
(1) VBR measured after It applied for 300 µs., It = square wave pulse or equivalent.
(2) VF = 3.5 Vmax., I F = 35 Amps. ( 6.8 Volts thru 91 Volts )
V F = 5.0 Vmax., I F = 35 Amps. ( 150 Volts thru 200 Volts ) per 1/2 square or equivalent sine wave.
PW = 8.3 ms, duty cycle = 4 pulses per minute maximum.
(3) For bidirectional types with VWM of 10 Volts and less, the I R limit is doubled
(4) For the bidirectional SA5.0CA, the maximum VBR is 7.25V
