BT258X-500R,127

Thyristors - SCRs (BT258X-500R,127) are electronic components that are typically used as electronic switches in power control applications. They are also known as silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs). They are a type of thyristor that responds to an applied voltage by switching from a low-voltage to a high-voltage state quickly.

The BT258X-500R,127 is a high-capacity, low-on resistance thyristor that is designed to be used in high current AC and DC applications. The BT258X-500R,127 has (Vdrm) a reverse voltage rating of 500V, a forward current rating of 127 amps, and an average on-state output current (IF(AV)) of 128A. It can also handle surge currents up to 270A and is designed to handle a maximum operating junction temperature of 175°C.

The BT258X-500R,127 is suitable for use in industrial control and power supply applications. It can be used in power switching applications such as motor control, switched mode power supplies, and general electronic control circuits. Additionally, the BT258X-500R,127 can be used in applications such as photovoltaic (PV) panels, dimmers, soft start systems, and temperature control circuits.

The working principle of the BT258X-500R,127 is similar to other SCRs. When an externally applied voltage reverses bi-directionally from positive to negative or vice-versa, it triggers the SCR to transition from a low voltage to a high voltage state. During the on-state, typically when the current exceeds the forward blocking voltage, current flows freely through the SCR. When the current falls below the blocking voltage, the SCR enters its off-state and the current stops flowing.

The BT258X-500R,127 also has various protections built-in such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature. When an overload occurs or the device exceeds either its voltage or temperature rating, the BT258X-500R,127 will automatically enter its off-state, ensuring the user\'s circuit stays safe. Additionally, the BT258X-500R,127 is RoHS compliant and is available in a variety of package types.

In summary, BT258X-500R,127 is a high-current thyristor that is designed for use in a variety of industrial control and power supply applications. It has various built-in protections, making it a reliable and safe choice for controlling power. Additionally, it is RoHS compliant, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
