P2500SB

TVS-Thyristors

Thyristors, also known as silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), are power semiconductor devices that use a four-layer alternating P-N junction structure to construct a voltage-controlled switch, which allows them to control power in a variety of applications. The P2500SB is a thyristor family of devices that provides superior performance and robustness.

P2500SB Application Fields

The P2500SB family of thyristors are designed for use in a wide range of applications that require high current switching, rectification, power distribution, and control. They can be used in power supplies, motor drives, motor control, welding equipment, computer and telecommunications systems, and many other applications. The P2500SB is especially suitable for applications that require higher ratings, such as industrial power supplies, high power battery chargers, and motor drives.

The P2500SB family of devices has a wide range of current ratings, voltage ratings, and capacitance ratings, making them ideal for a variety of applications. The P2500SB also has wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for use in industrial, medical, and other applications that require high-temperature operation. The P2500SB family of devices has UL and VDE approvals, making them suitable for use in industrial and medical environments.

P2500SB Working Principle

Thyristors, such as the P2500SB family, operate on a four-layer structure that consists of alternating P-N junctions. In this design, a P-N junction is placed between two pieces of semiconductor material, typically silicon (Si) or germanium (Ge). This junction acts as a rectifier, allowing current to flow in one direction. The two other P-N junctions, placed in parallel to the first, are used to control the rectifying action.

When current is passing through the semiconductor material of the thyristor, it is also passing through an internal field-effect transistor (FET) that acts as a switch. When a positive voltage is applied across this FET, it turns on, allowing current to flow through the semiconductor materials. When a negative voltage is applied, the FET is turned off and current is no longer able to flow through the thyristor.

The P2500SB family of thyristors are designed to provide superior performance and high power handling capacity. The devices feature low on-resistance and low leakage current, as well as superior switch-on and switch-off times. They also feature very low thermal resistance and high-temperature operation, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

The P2500SB family of thyristors can be used in a variety of applications, including power supplies, motor drives, motor control, welding equipment, computer and telecommunications systems, and many other applications. They are an ideal choice for applications that require higher ratings, such as industrial power supplies and high power battery chargers.
