VS-16TTS12STRRPBF

Thyristors - SCRs

Thyristors, commonly place referred to as Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs), are four-layer, three terminal solid-state devices. SCRs have high forward blocking voltage capabilities and are capable of providing current values in excess of thousands of amperes. Typically, SCRs are used for the purpose of power control. In most cases the controlled power is alternating current (AC), but SCRs can be used for direct current (DC) applications as well.

The VS-16TTS12STRRPBF is an SCR with a 16A rating, a fully welded construction, and a surge rating of up to 50A for half a second. It is commonly used for the purpose of controlling voltage and power in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It has a wide operating temperature range from -40°C up to 80°C and can be used in a variety of environmental conditions. Additionally, the VS-16TTS12STRRPBF has low forward voltage drop, low turnaround time, and can be used with minimum losses.

Application Field

SCRs are very versatile devices that can be used in many different types of applications. Common applications for the VS-16TTS12STRRPBF SCR include motor control, rectification, localized heating and cooling, lighting control, and AC power control. SCRs can also be used in battery charging applications as well. The VS-16TTS12STRRPBF is also commonly used in home appliances such as TVs, toasters, and washers/dryers.

Working Principle

SCRs are triggered semiconductor devices that effectively act as a switch when triggered. When the gate voltage reaches a certain threshold voltage, the SCR switches on and current flows through the SCR until it reaches a certain peak value. This peak value can be controlled by changing the gate voltage. Additionally, the SCR can be turned off by reducing the gate voltage to below a certain level. This allows for power control in a variety of applications.

The VS-16TTS12STRRPBF is a fully welded SCR that can be used for medium voltage, medium current applications. Its fully welded construction ensures reliability and allows for a wide range of operational temperatures. This makes it a great choice for applications that operate in extreme temperatures. Additionally, the VS-16TTS12STRRPBF has a low forward voltage drop, low turnaround time and can be used with minimum losses.

In conclusion the VS-16TTS12STRRPBF is a great choice for a variety of applications. Its ability to control both AC and DC current, its low forward voltage drop, and its wide operating temperature range make it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. It also has a fully welded construction which ensures reliability and makes it a great choice for applications in extreme environmental conditions.
