Thyristors, or thyristor-controlled semiconductor switches (SCRs), are power electronic devices used to switch other electric circuits, like motors, resistors, and speakers. Since its invention in 1956, thyristors have become widely used in many different applications. One of the thyristor types widely used is the TCS444340HDH, which is a four-pin unidirectional device with an internal diode.

TCS444340HDH Application Field

The TCS444340HDH is a medium-power, 400V thyristor providing high levels of control flexibility. Among its various applications, it is mainly used in heating, AC circuits or with soft-start applications. It is typically used to regulate and switch power in applications like resistive heating, lighting, and motor control. This thyristor is designed to meet the high-balance requirements of switching power loads.

Aside from the aforementioned applications, the TCS444340HDH can also be used as an AC switch for load interruptions. It’s also used in high-voltage transmission lines as a surge protector, and as a switch in circuits using high-current electrical power. Its efficient four-pin design minimizes the amount of wiring necessary for installation, thereby reducing installation time and cost.

TCS444340HDH Working Principle

The TCS444340HDH has four pins–two for the anode and cathode, one for gate control and one for the auxiliaries. It requires gate-turn-on pulses as trigger signals. When a gate-turn-on pulse is applied, the thyristor begins to conduct in the forward direction, allowing current to flow between the anode and the cathode. The thyristor will continue to conduct until the current drops below the holding current or a gate-turn-off pulse is applied.

For increased safety, the TCS444340HDH is designed to meet the high-balance requirements of switching power loads. That is, the ratio of on-state voltage to on-state current should be close to the supply voltage. This is to ensure that power transients are not produced when the device turns on and off.

Furthermore, the device can be triggered by gate control and/or auxiliaries. The gate control pulse must either stay on for a period of time that is greater than the turn-on time, or be turned off for a period of time that is greater than the turn-off time. This allows users to control the rate at which the device switches on or off.

Conclusion

The TCS444340HDH is a useful and reliable medium-power thyristor that provides reliable switching and regulation of electric power in AC and DC circuits. It offers a high level of control flexibility and is designed to meet the high-balance requirements of switching power loads. The TCS444340HDH can be used in applications like resistive and motor control, load interruptions, high-voltage transmission lines, and surge protection.
