HML1225 Thyristor replacement

[mediaman083]

Hello again folks!

Need some help finding a suitable replacement for a couple HML1224 thyristor's.

These aren't manufactured any longer and the only comparable replacement I can find on Digikey is a MCR100-5 A1G.. and wouldn't you know it.. that one is no longer made either.

This is for a vintage Christmas light chaser function box.

got a datasheet for it?

Sure do!

That's what I was trying to go by, but I can't find anything closely comparable. At least not in my limited knowledge.

Try Mouser.
Mouser #:
610-BRX49-PB

Mouser #:
610-CS92D-TL

Well, I was hoping to find one that was in stock so I could get them working this year, but I guess with something of this age I can't be super picky!

Thanks for finding those CapLeaker

try a triac

Digikey P0102DA 5AL3 ?

Re: HML1225 Thyristor replacement

I would not use a triac because I have found one of these was multiplexed using the two line sine-wave polarities. Just to get more (colours to control) out of the few wires in the string I guess. They really need to have a fuse in these as well. The one I had gave me the creeps with the skinny wire and messy PCB with no clearances.

BT149G 600V 0.8A KGA pinout or BT169. Littelfuse seems to have different pinout.

Thank you redwire! Those all are in stock and look to be right what I was after. kudos!
