The TYN16B-600CT from WeEN Semiconductors is a Planar Passivated Thyristor that is suitable for use in applications requiring high thermal cycling performance and high junction temperature capability. It has a break-over voltage of up to 600 V and a break-over current of less than 180 A. This rectifier has a gate trigger voltage of up to 1.3 V and a gate trigger current of less than 6 mA. It has high voltage capability and is planar passivated for voltage ruggedness and reliability. This thyristor has high bidirectional blocking voltage capability and very high current surge capability. It is available in a surface-mount package that measures 15.60 x 10.40 x 4.75 mm and is ideal for ignition circuits, protection circuits such as SMPS inrush current, voltage regulation, crowbar protection and motor control applications.
