Thyristors - SCRs

A thyristor is a type of solid state semiconductor component that behaves like a switch. Specifically, a thyristor is a three-terminal device with a control electrode (the gate terminal) that when triggered into conduction, allows a current path to flow between the other two terminals (the anode and cathode terminals). The T500038004AQ is a specific kind of thyristor, known as a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR).

T500038004AQ Application Field

SCRs are widely used in many commercial and industrial applications, such as power and lighting control, motor control, and other applications in which solid state reliability and switching speed are important. The T500038004AQ is used in applications such as high-power AC and DC motor control as well as for general-purpose switching and rectification applications. Specifically, the T500038004AQ provides a very fast, stable and reliable switching operation and can handle current up to 13 Amps and voltage up to 1000 Volts peak.

T500038004AQ Working Principle

The T500038004AQ is a thyristor, or SCR, which is a three-terminal device with a control electrode called the gate terminal and two other terminals, the anode and cathode. When a voltage is applied to the gate terminal, it triggers the thyristor into conduction, allowing current to flow between the anode and cathode terminals. When the gate trigger voltage is removed, the thyristor will remain in a conducting state until the current through the device drops below its holding current level.

The T500038004AQ features a very fast switch-off time and low forward voltage drop, both of which are beneficial in applications where high power levels are required. It can withstand reverse voltage up to 400V and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. In addition, the T500038004AQ features a rugged construction and is very reliable in operation.

In summary, the T500038004AQ is a trusted and reliable SCR for use in many industrial and commercial applications. It provides fast, stable, and reliable switching and high power rectification, and is designed to provide reliable operation under challenging conditions.
