CS20-22MOF1

Thyristors - SCRs

A silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) is a four-layer semiconductor device that works as a switching element. It has three electrodes, called anode, gate, and cathode, which are made of N-type and P-type semiconductor material. SCRs are used in a wide range of applications, such as home electronics, automotive, and power control. They are simple and reliable, making them a popular choice in many different industries.

CS20-22MOF1 Applications:

The CS20-22MOF1 is a three-terminal uni-directional gate-controlled rectifier designed to provide low-cost, highly reliable switching and current control in several applications. The device is packaged in a compact TO-220 package, and its low conduction loss makes it suitable for high-power applications. Some common uses for the CS20-22MOF1 include:

• DC-DC converters
• Motor speed and current control
• Industrial automation machinery
• Battery charger and discharge control
• Power supplies and transformers

CS20-22MOF1 Working Principle:

The CS20-22MOF1 operates as a 4-layer thyristor switch, with a uni-directional current flow (anode-to-cathode). It is triggered when the current between the gate and cathode reaches a threshold value, i.e., when the controlling voltage at the gate is larger than the threshold voltage of the device. This will cause the device to enter a conducting state. The device will remain in the active state until the current reaches zero or the controlling voltage drops below the device\'s reverse blocking voltage.

The CS 20-22MOF1 has a on-state resistance of 0.33 ohms. It is capable of carrying up to 20A continuous current and can withstand blocking voltages of up to 600V. It has a built-in meltdown protection and reverse leakage current protection, which makes it reliable and suitable for high-current applications. It has a high surge capability of up to 3.9KA, making it suitable for applications like inductive loads and AC motor starters.

In addition to these features, the CS20-22MOF1 also has a dielectric rating of 1500V for one minute and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It can also be used in hazardous locations, thanks to its high dielectric strength.

Conclusion:

The CS20-22MOF1 is a versatile three-terminal gate-controlled rectifier that can be used in a variety of applications. It has a low on-state resistance, a high surge capability and a high dielectric rating, making it an ideal choice for high-current applications. It is reliable, easy to use, and cost-effective. With all these features, the CS20-22MOF1 is the perfect choice for any industrial and automotive switching applications.
