TT250N16KOFTIMHPSA1 Datasheet/PDFThe TT250N16KOFTIMHPSA1 is a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) module made of high power Geometrics of International Rectifier. It uses a Gate Turn-Off (GTO) thyristor technology and provides maximum power handling, fast recovery speed and long term reliability. It is primarily used in high power switching applications such as welding, UPS systems, motor drives, traction and charging systems.
A SCR is a three-terminal semiconductor device, consisting of a power externally controlled and isolated gate, which actuates the primary thyristor, two gate two anode junctions and two gate two cathode junctions. The gate controls the conduction of the two junction points with the anode and cathode. The SCR also features a high-voltage common anode design that enables it to switch higher current levels without the need for extra external voltage or current scaling.
The TT250N16KOFTIMHPSA1 operates using a GTO thyristor technology. A switching device called the output transistor is used to conduct current from one terminal to the other along with a gate in between the terminals. This gate is electrically isolated from the rest of the device, allowing it to control the electric current passing through the device, enabling it to switch power without the need for an additional external voltage. This feature enables the device to switch on/ off, resulting in increased efficiency and increased reliability.
The TT250N16KOFTIMHPSA1 possesses numerous benefits, including a wide operating voltage range of 500V to 6,000V, high current handling capability of up to 250A, and fast recovery time. The device is also available with integrated gate protection or current limiters, making it ideal for high power applications. Additionally, the device has a temperature cycling capability of up to 2,000 cycles, ensuring reliable long term performance.
In applications, such as motor drives, welding, UPS systems, charging and traction, the TT250N16KOFTIMHPSA1 provides reliable and efficient operation. The device can reduce electrical losses, resulting in high performance and energy savings. The high power handling capabilities also reduce the load on power systems, making the device suitable for high power applications. Additionally, due to its high switching speed and fast recovery time, it does not cause significant disruption during system operation.
In summary, the TT250N16KOFTIMHPSA1 is a high power SCR module that offers excellent performance, reliability, and value. It is suitable for high power switching applications and provides reliable and efficient operation.
