CS19-12HO1S-TUB

Thyristors - SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers) are a type of semiconductor component used as a switching device. The CS19-12HO1S-TUB is an SCR with an all-amalgam construction that is optimized for use in applications where high-frequency operation is required. This makes it an ideal choice for use in power-processing and power-conversion applications.

The CS19-12HO1S-TUB has a voltage rating of 1,200 Volts, a current rating of 20 Amps, and a gate trigger current of 2.5 mA. As with other SCRs, it has a three-lead configuration comprising an anode, gate, and cathode terminal. A gate voltage is applied to the gate terminal to turn on the SCR; removal of the gate voltage deactivates the SCR. The gate voltage of the CS19-12HO1S-TUB is a moderate +4 Volts.

The CS19-12HO1S-TUB can be used in a variety of power and thermal management applications, including motor control, heating, and light dimming. It is also well suited for use in power-conversion circuits, such as AC-to-DC converters, DC-to-AC inverters, and lighting ballasts. As a high-frequency SCR, it is also a good choice for applications where rapid on/off switching is needed, such as in high-speed rectification for semiconductor fabrication processes.

In terms of its working principle, the CS19-12HO1S-TUB is an SCR, which means that it is a type of bidirectional thyristor that offers fast, reliable switching between conducting and non-conducting states. The device is normally kept non-conducting by a negative potential applied to the gate. When the gate potential is increased above the device\'s breakdown voltage, the device turns on and current flows. The SCR then continues to remain in the on-state until the current is reduced to zero, at which point the device switches to the off-state.

The CS19-12HO1S-TUB is one of the most reliable and efficient SCRs on the market, thanks to its all-amalgam construction. Its high-frequency capability makes it an ideal choice for a variety of power-processing and power-conversion applications.
