Thyristors are a class of electrical components that have been utilized in a wide range of industries and applications. As an important part of thyristor family, the P1556UATP is a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) with a reverse voltage blocking capability up to 1500 Volts at 20 Amps. This efficient and resilient device is widely utilized in circuits requiring electric power control, active power line conditioning, motor control, lighting control and so on.

The P1556UATP thyristor features an isolation voltage of 2500 Volts and a thermal resistance of 2.6°C/W in air flow paths. It has a low forward voltage drop that offers increased power efficiency in addition to its reverse voltage blocking capability. Moreover, this device is capable of reliably functioning over an ambient temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, and the gate current is only 370 mA with a turn-on delay time of no longer than 15µs.

Thyristors such as P1556UATP are widely utilized in applications demanding reliable and fairly simple control of electrical energy such as light dimmers, motor control, power factor correction, fan speed control, neutral switching, and so on. For example, P1556UATP satiates the demands of a power factor controller with its reverse voltage blocking capability, high surge discharge capacity, fast switching times, low forward voltage drop, low gate current requirements, and the ability to withstand temperatures of up to 125°C.

The working principle of the P1556UATP thyristor consists of four regions of operation. The first is the forward conducting region, which is when the gate is activated, and then the anode starts conducting the current. In the second region, the junction capacitance of the thyristor is the main parameter that determines the time it takes to get from peak voltage to a holding current level. The third region is the reverse blocking region, which is the part of the thyristor operation where the reverse voltage is applied to it, and it is not able to turn on and conduct current even with the gate activated. Finally, in the fourth region, the thyristor is turned off by cutting off the current flowing through it, and then the reverse voltage is removed.

In summary, P1556UATP thyristors are a reliable and efficient device that is used for controlling the flow of electrical energy in a range of applications. With its reverse voltage blocking capability up to 1500 Volts at 20 Amps, high surge current capacity, low voltage drop, fast switching times, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, P1556UATP is the device of choice for applications demanding reliable and simple electric power control and active power line conditioning.
