C3D02060A

The C3D02060A is a single-phase silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) or silicon-controlled switch (SCS) diode. It features a high trigger current and low-resistance internal structure for high turn-on speed and low forward voltage drop. It is commonly used in power control and motor control applications.

The C3D02060A has an insulated metal tab (IMT) packages and an internal gate-controlled three-terminal device, the anode, cathode and gate are connected to the SCR or SCS. When a voltage is supplied at the gate terminal, the SCR or SCS is triggered into conduction and current flows between the anode and cathode. The gate terminal must be held at a voltage high enough to maintain the device in conduction, otherwise the device shut off.

The C3D02060A is typically used in applications such as static switching devices, consumer electronics, motor control systems, DC-DC converters and UPS systems. In motor control systems, such as in DC fans or motorized valves, the C3D02060A can be used as a starting switch and in power control applications, it can be used as a generator or motor soft start or for EMI/RFI suppression. In DC-DC or DC-AC converters, the C3D02060A can be used as a main or secondary rectifier, whereas in UPS systems, it can be used as a bridge rectifier.

The C3D02060A is the most common single-phase SCR or SCS. The maximum surge reverse voltage of the C3D02060A is 600 V and it is rated at 40 A continuous current. It is available in a variety of packages including insulated metal tab (IMT) and Standard Fenn B-Type (SFB) packages. The IMT package provides superior isolation and thermal performance. The SFB package offers higher surge current in a much smaller footprint.

In summary, the C3D02060A is a single-phase silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) or silicon-controlled switch (SCS) diode. It features a high trigger current and low-resistance internal structure for high turn-on speed and low forward voltage drop. It is commonly used in power control and motor control applications such as static switching devices, consumer electronics, motor control systems, DC-DC converters and UPS systems.
