BT258S-800R,118 Discrete Semiconductor Products

Thyristors - SCRs are a type of thyristor, which are special devices meant to be used in place of transistors, rectifiers, and other components used for controlling electricity. The BT258S-800R,118 belongs to the family of Thyristors - SCRs, and is typically used in high-power, high-voltage applications. The BT258S-800R,118 is typically employed as an industrial controller, in circuits which are tasked with controlling high-power machinery or large industrial motors.

The BT258S-800R,118 has two main uses, namely OFF or ON control, or pulse control. In OFF or ON control, the thyristor is employed to regulate the current or to turn the current off and on. In pulse control, the device is used for regulating the duration and magnitude of current. The BT258S-800R,118 is typically used in high-current applications, such as short-circuit protective devices, high-power switches, and power factor controllers.

The BT258S-800R,118 is capable of controlling very high currents, up to 800 amps and a voltage range of up to 800 volts. This makes it ideal for a wide variety of industrial applications. For instance, it can be used to control currents in industrial motors, permanent-magnet synchronous motors, high-current AC motor controllers, and more. The BT258S-800R,118 is also used in high-voltage, high-current applications such as HID lamps, air conditioners, electric ovens, and medical equipment.

The BT258S-800R,118 is essentially a switch, and works on the principle of voltage and current control. The device essentially has three different parts, namely an anode, a cathode, and a gate. The anode and the cathode are connected to a power source, and the gate is an input signal which is used to regulate the flow of current through the device. When the signal from the gate is low, the BT258S-800R,118 is turned off and no current passes through it.

When the signal from the gate is high, the BT258S-800R,118 is turned on, and a certain pulse of current is allowed to pass through it. This pulse of current depends on the parameters of the circuit, such as the voltage and current of the power source, the parameters of the BT258S-800R,118, etc. Once the BT258S-800R,118 is turned on, it stays in that state until the signal from the gate is low, at which point the device switches off.

The BT258S-800R,118 is a versatile device capable of controlling high-power devices and can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is relatively easy to control, as all it requires is a gate signal in order to switch between its two states. This makes the device ideal for a variety of industrial applications, and is part of what makes it one of the most popular Thyristors - SCRs on the market.
