S2004DS2RP

Thyristors - SCRs

Thyristors, commonly known as silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs), are three-terminal semiconductor devices that are capable of controlling the flow of electric current. An SCR is also known as a thyristor or a gate-turn-off (GTO) thyristor.They are widely used in industrial, commercial and domestic electronics applications, including the switching, modulation, and control of AC line power. One of the most iconic uses of SCRs is in the dimming of incandescent lamps.

S2004DS2RP Application Fields and Working Principles

The S2004DS2RP SCR is an advanced, two-pole (axial), insulated-gate bi-polar transistor (IGBT) SCR. It is widely used in inverter power controller applications, rectifier systems, and other advanced high-power rectifier applications. It is an ideal solution for high-power control, due to its low forward voltage drop, low switching losses, and high current capabilities.

The S2004DS2RP is specially designed for high-current, high-temperature operation. Its unique features, including high static dv/dt resistance, low input capacitance, and high surge current, make it suitable for use in applications such as power regulators and motor drive systems. The SCR has dual gate terminals, so it can be configured to operate with both high and low input voltage ranges, allowing it to switch both positive and negative polarity loads. Its wide on-state voltage range, from 3.2 V to 16 V, allows it to be used in a range of operating environments. The SCR also features protection against over-voltage, reverse-current, and temperature sensitive protection for improved reliability.

The working principle of the S2004DS2RP is based on the principle of “silicon controlled switch”. This particular type of thyristor switches between its two states of on and off using an external control signal to activate its gate. When the external signal is applied, the gate terminal is turned on, and the SCR begins to conduct current. The current will continue to flow until the control signal is removed. This type of SCR is ideal for applications that require fast input signal switching, such as power controllers, rectifier systems, and other high-power rectifier applications.

The S2004DS2RP is a highly reliable, efficient, and economical SCR device. It can operate for many years without service, and it is suitable for use in a wide range of applications. Due to its low forward voltage drop, low switching losses, and high current capabilities, it is well-suited for high-power control, rectifier systems, and other switching and power supply applications.

In summary, the S2004DS2RP SCR is a high-performance device that is suitable for a wide range of applications, from power controllers and motor drive systems to rectifier systems and other advanced high-power rectifier applications. Its low forward voltage drop, low switching losses, and high current capabilities make it an ideal choice for high-power control applications. With its dual gate terminals, it is capable of switching both positive and negative polarity loads, and its wide on-state voltage range enables it to be used in a range of operating environments.
