Thyristor | CR1AM | TO-92 High-Power Thyristor (SCR) - Industrial Grade Silicon Controlled Rectifier for Power Control Applications
The Thyristor | CR1AM | TO-92 is a high-power thyristor (silicon controlled rectifier) designed for industrial power control and conversion applications. This robust semiconductor device provides reliable switching of high currents in motor drives, power supplies, heating controls, and welding equipment.
Featuring a large silicon die in a robust package, this thyristor handles continuous currents of hundreds of amperes with voltage ratings suitable for industrial power systems. The low on-state voltage drop minimizes power dissipation and heat generation during conduction. The high surge current capability withstands transient overload conditions without damage.
The gate trigger characteristics ensure reliable turn-on with standard control circuits while maintaining high dv/dt immunity to prevent false triggering. The isolated base or stud-mount package options facilitate thermal management and electrical isolation in equipment designs. The hermetic sealing ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
