Vishay Thyristor SCR TO-263 Package, 1200 V, 16 A, 45 mA Gate Trigger Current, 350 A Surge Current VS-25TTS12S-M3

Vishay VS-25TTS12S-M3 is a high-performance thyristor designed for industrial and electronic power control applications. This solid-state device features a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) construction housed in a compact TO-263 surface-mount package, making it ideal for automated machinery insertion and efficient thermal dissipation.

Electrical characteristics include a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VDRM) of 1200 V and a rated average on-state current (Irms) of 16 A, suitable for controlling substantial power loads. It supports surge currents up to 350 A, assuring resilience against transient power spikes common in welding equipment and battery chargers.

The gate trigger parameters - maximum gate trigger current of 45 mA and gate trigger voltage of 2 V - allow reliable and precise turn-on control of the thyristor. The device maintains conduction with a maximum holding current of 100 mA and features a low peak on-state voltage of 1.25 V, reducing conduction losses and improving efficiency.

Designed to operate across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 125°C, this thyristor is suitable for rigorous industrial environments and HVAC systems. Its surface mount TO-263 package supports easy assembly and robust mounting.

Key applications include battery chargers, welders, plating equipment, regulated power supplies, and motor speed and temperature control circuits. It is a reliable choice for industrial, manufacturing, laboratory, and commercial use cases needing efficient power switching components.

Rated for 16 A average on-state current ensuring reliable power switching. Repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1200 V suitable for high voltage applications. Surge current rating of 350 A for transient overload tolerance.

Gate trigger current of 45 mA and maximum gate trigger voltage of 2 V for precise triggering. Designed for surface mount with TO-263 package for efficient thermal management. Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 125°C ensures durability in harsh conditions.
