S8012DRP

Thyristors - SCRs

Thyristors are four layer semiconductor devices composed of three p-n junctions. They are also referred to as silicon control rectifiers (SCRs), and are mainly used for rectification, motor control and static switching applications. SCRs, depending on their design, can have a very fast response time and superior current handling capability, which make them suitable for applications requiring high levels of performance.

The S8012DRP has a maximum trigger voltage of 15 V, a rated on-state current of 1.8 A and a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. This device is compatible with a wide range of operating temperatures and all automotive environments.

Application Field

The S8012DRP is mainly used in automotive and industrial applications, such as power supplies, control boards, solenoid coils, and switching circuitry. This device is suitable for a variety of automotive applications and is designed to be used in some of the most demanding electrical environments, such as power supplies, voltage and current regulators, as well as in automotive lighting and heating/cooling systems. The S8012DRP is also a great choice for monostable motor control applications since it provides fast and reliable switching.

Working Principle

The S8012DRP works by controlling the flow of current across it. A voltage is applied to the gate terminal, which has the effect of increasing the forward bias voltage across the anode and cathode terminals. This increase in forward bias voltage causes the thyristor to conduct current. The thyristor remains in the conductive state until the voltage is removed from the gate terminal, in which case it will again become non-conductive. The S8012DRP is designed to be used at a moderate voltage of up to 15 V.
