Vishay Thyristor SCR 1200 V 10 A 60 mA 200 A 1.4 V TO-220 VS-16TTS12PBF

Vishay VS-16TTS12PBF Thyristor SCR is a robust semiconductor device capable of controlling high power by switching on with a gate trigger pulse. Rated for 1200 volts repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 10 amperes average on-state current, this component features a TO-220 through-hole package which facilitates easy installation and effective heat dissipation. It delivers a surge current capacity of 200 amperes, allowing it to handle short transient loads efficiently.

The SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is built from four alternating layers of P and N-type materials and acts as a bistable switch, conducting when forward biased and triggered through its gate terminal. The device requires a maximum gate trigger current of 60 milliamperes and can hold conduction as long as the current remains above 100 milliamperes. Its gate trigger voltage is capped at 2 volts, ensuring precise and reliable activation during operation.

Operating temperature limits range from -40°C to 125°C, providing resilience for industrial and laboratory environments. The peak on-state voltage of 1.4 volts contributes to low conduction losses, maximizing efficiency for use in battery chargers, welding equipment, plating operations, regulated power supplies, and motor speed control circuits. Its 3-pin configuration and through-hole mount type are compatible with standard electronic assemblies.

Although there are no specific standards or automotive approvals associated with this model, it remains a dependable choice for general-purpose power control applications. Packaging and handling are optimized to be ready for insertion into machinery to improve production efficiency.

Key features include:. Solid-state SCR with alternating four-layer semiconductor construction. High voltage and current ratings for demanding industrial uses. Temperature range suitable for harsh operational conditions. Compact TO-220 package supporting effective heat dissipation.
