Thyristors are high-power semiconductor switches primarily used for switching and controlling the flow of high-voltage and high-power equipments. Examples include motor control systems, solar inverters, and other high-voltage applications. However, some thyristors are designed for low-voltage systems, such as S402ESRP. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of S402ESRP.

S402ESRP, developed by SEMIKRON, is a series of bidirectional, zero-crossing and phase-controlled silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR). It is specially designed for low-voltage, light-load applications, such as AC and DC switching regulators, motor controls, converters, soft starters and LED lighting controls. With zero-crossing property, S402ESRP has a high efficiency performance, a fast turn-on and turn-off circuit, better thermal performance and a low operating temperature of up to 125°C.

The working principle of S402ESRP is based on the same principle as other thyristors. It consists of four anode-cathode pairs connected in series. When a voltage is applied between the anode and cathode, the Thyristor switches on and allows electric current flow from the anode to the cathode. When the voltage is reduced below a certain level, the thyristor turns off and breaks the circuit.

In order to control the S402ESRP, a control circuit is needed which generates a signal to turn the thyristor on or off. This is usually done by applying a gate signal after an initial input voltage is applied. The gate signal is provided by a pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller or a gate driver circuit. The PWM controller works by varying the output pulse width to control the amount of current flowing through the thyristor while the gate driver circuit works by providing a continuous signal to control the thyristor.

S402ESRP provides superior performance in applications requiring very low voltage and light load. It is suitable for a variety of different applications including general switching, motor control, soft starters, converters and LED lighting controllers. With its low operating temperature and high efficiency, S402ESRP is an ideal choice for applications requiring high power operation.

In conclusion, S402ESRP is a series of bidirectional, zero-crossing and phase-controlled silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR) developed by SEMIKRON. It is specially designed for low-voltage, light-load applications and it works by allowing electric current flow from the anode to the cathode when a voltage is applied between them. It is suitable for a variety of different applications including general switching, motor control, soft starters, converters and LED lighting controllers. With its low operating temperature and high efficiency, S402ESRP is a great choice for applications requiring high power operation.
