Vishay Thyristor SCR 800 V Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage 20 A Rated Average On-State Current VS-30TPS08-M3

Vishay VS-30TPS08-M3 is a high-performance silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) thyristor featuring an 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage rating and a 20 A rated average on-state current. It is packaged in a TO-247 encapsulation with an electrically isolated base plate, designed to withstand high surge currents up to 300 A. This device offers robust switching capabilities with a maximum gate trigger current of 60 mA and gate trigger voltage of 2.5 V.

Designed for industrial and laboratory use, the VS-30TPS08-M3 is ideal for applications such as battery chargers, welders, plating equipment, regulated power supplies, and temperature or speed control circuits. Its wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 125°C allows it to perform reliably in demanding environments, and its through-hole mount type ensures stable mechanical and electrical connections.

The device features a peak on-state voltage of 1.3 V, which minimizes conduction losses, and includes a repetitive peak off-state current rating of 10 mA, contributing to device integrity during off states. Its maximum holding current of 100 mA stabilizes the device conduction once triggered, ensuring efficient operation under switching conditions.

As a robust discrete semiconductor component, the Vishay VS-30TPS08-M3 complies with industrial quality standards, although it does not hold specific automotive certifications. It is supplied new and is suitable for incorporation in a variety of electrical and electronic manufacturing processes.

Encapsulated in TO-247 package for durability and easy mounting. 800 V peak reverse voltage enables use in high voltage circuits. 20 A average on-state current rating supports medium power applications. Surge current capacity of 300 A accommodates transient currents.
