Handling Precautions for MCT's
MOS Controlled Thyristors are susceptible to gate-insula-
tion damage by the electrostatic discharge of energy through
the devices. When handling these devices, care should be
exercised to assure that the static charge built in the han-
dler's body capacitance is not discharged through the
device. MCT's can be handled safely if the following basic
precautions are taken:
1. Prior to assembly into a circuit, all leads should be kept
2. When devices are removed by hand from their carriers,
3. Tips of soldering irons should be grounded.

the hand being used should be grounded by any suitable
means - for example, with a metallic wristband.

in turn-on of the device due to voltage buildup on the input
