P2353AB

Thyristors or silicon controlled rectifiers are an important member of the TVS family. The Thyristors are generally used as switches in power electronics circuits and are adept at controlling voltage and current. P2353AB is a popular Thyristor, and it has gained immense recognition in the power electronics field.

The P2353AB is a three-terminal device, typically used for switching large voltage and current signals. It is composed of a four layer semiconductor device, with two input terminals, a control terminal, and an output terminal. It can handle large currents up to 12.5 amp and can handle voltages up to 400V.

The primary application of P2353AB is in AC voltage regulators, thyristor controllers, and DC motor controllers. Additionally, this device can be used to control the power supply of the fan motor in air-conditioners, and can also be used effectively for controlling various appliances such as pumps, electric motors, welding machines, and transformers.

The P2353AB Thyristor has two working states. During the conduction state, the control terminal is subjected to a positive voltage. This switches the Thyristor to its on-state and the output terminal is able to provide a full conducting path for the load current. In the off-state, the control terminal is subjected to a negative voltage. The Thyristor is switched to its off-state and the load current will be fully blocked.

The Thyristor has other mechanisms to protect itself from overloads and short circuits. Its built-in reverse conducting time-delay test helps to reduce the effect of “Transient Overvoltage”. It also has a built-in over-voltage protection, which helps to limit overvoltage current during abnormal load conditions. The P2353AB also has a stand-by current of less than 0.5mA which helps to protect the device from being damaged by continuous current.

Overall, the P2353AB is an excellent Thyristor that is ideal for a variety of applications in the power electronics field. The device can be used effectively for controlling various motors and appliances and it also has built-in protections to protect itself from accidental overloads and short circuits. Thus, it is a very reliable Thyristor that is sure to provide many years of reliable service.
