Feature Benefit Bullets

Maximum DC Gate Trigger Current: 300 mA

The high gate trigger current allows for reliable and precise control of the SCR, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Non Repetitive Peak On-state Current: 1600 A

This high peak on-state current capability enables the SCR to handle large transient currents without damage, ideal for high-power applications.

Maximum On-state Current: 110 A

The high on-state current rating allows the SCR to sustain continuous load currents up to 110 A, suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Maximum Leakage Current: 18 mA

The low leakage current ensures minimal power loss when the SCR is in the off state, improving overall efficiency.

Maximum Operating Temperature: 125 °C

The high operating temperature rating of 125°C enables the SCR to withstand elevated temperatures, making it reliable in harsh environments.

Minimum Operating Temperature: -45 °C

The wide operating temperature range from -45°C to 125°C allows the SCR to be used in a variety of temperature conditions, enhancing its versatility.

Maximum DC Gate Trigger Voltage: 3 V

The low gate trigger voltage of 3V ensures efficient and precise triggering of the SCR, reducing control circuit complexity and cost.

Repetitive Peak Off-state Voltage: 1400 V

The high off-state voltage rating of 1400V allows the SCR to withstand high voltages, making it suitable for power switching applications.

Minimum Critical Rate of Rise of Off-state Voltage: 200 V/us

The minimum rate of rise of off-state voltage of 200 V/µs ensures reliable turn-off performance, minimizing the risk of voltage spikes and damage.

Nominal Circuit Commutated Turn-off Time: 40 us

The fast turn-off time of 40 µs allows the SCR to switch off quickly, improving system efficiency and response time.
