Thyristors - SCRs

Thyristors are a class of semiconductor devices which act as switches, allowing current to flow in two directions if the voltage is above a set level. The device is made from three layers of semiconductor material which form three p-n junctions arranged in a triangle formation. Once a current passes through the device, it stays “on” until the current is interrupted or reduced below a certain level. SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers) are one of the most commonly used thyristors.

A VS-22RIA60 SCR is a device manufactured by Vishay Intertechnology. It is a high power, medium voltage device that has been designed for applications in telecom and industrial equipment markets, such as motor drives and solar inverters. It features a short-circuit withstand rating of 150 amperes (A), an operating temperature range of -55 to 150 degrees Celsius, and a typical on-state current of 22 amperes (A). The device also offers high immunity to technological disruption and a low recovery current of 60 amperes (A).

The VS-22RIA60 SCR consists of two main components, anode, and cathode. Anode and cathode of an SCR have different characteristics. The anode terminal is a positive voltage source while the cathode is a negative voltage source. When a positive voltage is applied to the anode terminal, current flows through the SCR, while when a negative voltage is applied to the cathode, the current is cut off. Thus, the SCR is rarely used as pure on-off switching device as it is usually operated in a modulation mode.

The SCR functions according to the following principle. When the anode is positive relative to the cathode, electrons from the N-type material are injected into the P-type base. If the base voltage is less than the breakdown voltage of the P-N junction, a reverse breakdown occurs, causing electric current to flow through the SCR. This current turns on the SCR, allowing it to act as a switch. When the anode voltage falls to a certain level, the current flow stops and the SCR turns off.

The VS-22RIA60 SCR has a wide range of applications. It is used in motor drives, solar inverters, telecom products, and other industrial equipment. It is also used in electric vehicle charging stations, electronic lamps, electric light dimmers, UPS systems, and power grids. In addition, the VS-22RI is also suitable for high frequency applications, as it has a small size, low leakage current, low recovery current and fast switching speed.

In conclusion, the VS-22RIA60 SCR is a versatile device that can be used in applications ranging from motor drives to telecom systems and industrial equipment. It features a short-circuit withstand rating of 150 amperes (A), an operating temperature range of -55 to 150 degrees Celsius, and a typical on-state current of 22 amperes (A). The device is reliable and efficient, making it a great choice for a range of demanding applications.
