IXYS Thyristor SCR TO-247 Package 1600 V 31 A 65 mA 320 A CS30-16IO1

IXYS CS30-16IO1 Thyristor SCR in TO-247 package offers a robust and reliable solution for high voltage and current switching applications in industrial and electronic systems. Rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VDRM) of 1600 V and a steady-state average on-state current of 31 A, this device supports demanding phase control operations with efficient switching characteristics.

This thyristor is designed as a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) featuring a maximum surge current of 320 A, enabling it to withstand transient conditions such as inrush currents or load surges typical in welders, battery chargers, and plating equipment. The maximum gate trigger current is 65 mA, paired with a gate trigger voltage of 1 V, allowing precise and sensitive triggering necessary for controlled switching.

The device uses a through-hole mount configuration with 3 pins and is encapsulated with an electrically isolated base plate for improved thermal management and safety during operation. It handles operating temperatures from -40°C up to +125°C, making it suitable for various industrial environments.

Typical applications include regulated power supplies, speed and temperature control circuits, and other power switching systems where controlled current flow and durability are paramount. The peak on-state voltage drop is maintained at 1.6 V to optimize efficiency while maintaining reliability.

Key performance features include its repetitive peak off-state current at 2 mA and holding current of 100 mA to maintain conduction once activated. It does not hold any automotive standards certification but finds wide use in industrial electronic applications.
