Vishay Power Semiconductor Thyristor VS-70TPS16PBF 1600 V 70 A 100 mA 1.4 kA 1.4 V

Vishay VS-70TPS16PBF is a high-performance power semiconductor thyristor (SCR) rated for 1600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and an average on-state current of 70 A. It is housed in a Super-247 package suitable for through-hole mounting, making it ideal for applications requiring robust and efficient phase control such as battery chargers, welders, regulated power supplies, and motor speed controls.

This device features a gate trigger current of 100 mA and gate trigger voltage of 1.5 V, enabling precise triggering control. Its operation spans a wide temperature range from -40°C up to 125°C, supporting various industrial environments. The maximum holding current of 200 mA ensures the device remains latched during conduction phases.

The thyristor’s pin count of 3 supports standard electrical connections, while a low peak on-state voltage of 1.4 V reduces power losses during operation. Although it does not carry specialized standards or automotive approvals, this component fits well into industrial electronics where high surge current capacity (1.4 kA) and minimal leakage current (1 mA repetitive off-state current) are critical.

Its solid-state switching capabilities allow it to operate as a bistable switch controlled electrically via gate current. Constructed as a Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR) thyristor. Encapsulated in a Super-247 package with through-hole mounting type.

Maximum gate trigger current of 100 mA with a gate trigger voltage up to 1.5 V. Operates in a wide temperature range from -40°C to 125°C. Maximum holding current rating of 200 mA ensures stable conduction. Pin count of 3 for easy circuit integration.

Peak on-state voltage is low at 1.4 V improving efficiency. Designed without automotive or specific standards approvals. Repetitive peak off-state leakage current is minimal (1 mA) enhancing performance.

This Thyristor finds extensive use in industrial, manufacturing, HVAC, and power electronics applications requiring efficient phase and power control solutions. Explore more Vishay products and power semiconductors at EnvMart.
