TDS4__4002
Phase Control Thyristor
4000Amperes 3000Volts
The TDS4 is a medium voltage, high current,
thin pack disc SCR employing a amplifing
gate structure. This thin package provides
greater cooling thus maximizing high current
performance. The amplifing gate design
allows the SCR to be reliably operated at high
di/dt and dv/dt conditions in various phase
control applications.
FEATURES:
Low On-State Voltage
High di/dt Capability
High dv/dt Capability
Hermetic Ceramic Package
Excellent Surge and I
APPLICATIONS:
DC Power Supplies
ORDERING INFORMATION Motor Controls
Plating Rectifiers
Select the complete 12 digit Part Number using the table below.
EXAMPLE: TDS4304002DH is a 3000V 4000A SCR with 300ma
IGT and 12 inch gate and cathode potential leads.
