Vishay Thyristor SCR 800 V, 16 A Rated Average On-State Current, 60 mA Maximum Gate Trigger Current, 360 A Surge 16RIA80

Vishay 16RIA80 is a high-performance Thyristor (Silicon-Controlled Rectifier - SCR) designed for demanding power control applications requiring both robustness and precision.

This SCR device features a rated average on-state current of 16 A and an impressive surge current rating of 360 A, allowing it to handle transient loads effectively. Its repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 800 V makes it suitable for circuits with high voltage demands.

The thyristor comes in a TO-48 package with screw mount type enabling secure mechanical installation in various electronic assemblies. It operates reliably across a broad temperature range from -65°C to a maximum of 125°C, suitable for industrial and commercial environments.

The device requires a maximum gate trigger current of 60 mA and a maximum gate trigger voltage of 2 V, permitting controlled and reliable switching operations. With a low peak on-state voltage of 1.75 V, this component minimizes conduction losses and improves overall efficiency.

Configured with 2 pins, the 16RIA80 is designed as a bistable switch that remains conducting once triggered while forward biased. Typical applications include battery chargers, welding machines, metal plating equipment, regulated power supplies, and systems for temperature and speed control, where reliable phase control is essential.

Rated Average On-State Current of 16 A ensures consistent power handling. Maximum Gate Trigger Current of 60 mA supports precise switching activation. Surge Current Rating of 360 A caters to transient high current conditions.

Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage of 800 V guarantees durability against voltage spikes. TO-48 package with screw mount enhances mechanical stability. Wide operating temperature span from -65°C to 125°C for versatility. Low conduction voltage drop at 1.75 V for energy efficiency.

2-pin configuration simplifies integration in semiconductor circuits.
