SCE240DA160

Overview

The SCE240DA160 is a thyristor module from the SanRex SCE series, rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1600 V and an average on-state current of 240 A. It features a unique heat dissipation technology allowing high current capacity within a compact package. The device supports a surge on-state current of up to 6500 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a gate trigger current of 100 mA and a critical rate of rise of on-state current (di/dt) of 500 A/µs.

Feature Summary

• Unique heat dissipation technology enables 240A high current capacity in a standard package size.
• New gate design provides higher di/dt capability and improved lightning surge immunity.
• Optimized internal structure reduces thermal resistance for efficient heat transfer.

Applications

• Motor Drives
• Servo Controllers
