IXYS MCMA140PD1600TB, Thyristor Module 1600V, 140A 200mA

Combined high-voltage/high-current diode and thyristor modules in phase-leg configuration for industrial power control and rectification applications. The rugged devices are housed in industry-standard isolated packages suitable for surface mounting.

Thyristors - IXYS

A Thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device with four layers of alternating N and P-type material. They act as bistable switches, conducting when their gate receives a current trigger, and continue to conduct while they are forward biased. Thyristors are synonymous to Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR).
Encapsulated modules with electrically isolated base plate. Suitable for applications such as battery chargers, welders and plating equipment, regulated power supplies and temperature and speed control circuits.
