VS-16RIA100M

Scrs Overview

The VS-16RIA100M is a medium power phase control thyristor from the Vishay VS-16RIA series, designed for stud mounting in the TO-48 (TO-208AA) package. It features an average on-state current rating of 16 A at a case temperature of 85 °C and supports maximum repetitive peak off-state voltages up to 1000 V. The device exhibits a maximum on-state voltage of 1.75 V and a typical turn-off time of 110 μs. Operating within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +125 °C, it incorporates improved glass passivation for high reliability and stability under elevated thermal conditions.

Scrs Feature Summary

• Improved glass passivation ensures high reliability and exceptional stability at high temperatures
• Capable of handling high dI/dt and dV/dt rates for robust switching performance
• Features low thermal resistance for efficient heat dissipation in stud mount configurations

Scrs Applications

• Medium power switching circuits
• Phase control applications

Scrs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage code suffix '100' corresponds to the required 1000 V rating during procurement. Confirm that the 'M' suffix indicates the metric M6 x 1 thread version rather than the standard imperial thread. Ensure the application design accounts for the specified thermal resistance values and mounting torque requirements to maintain device integrity.

Scrs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 A average on-state current and 1000 V blocking capability are required in a stud-mount configuration. Consider the TO-48 package dimensions and the availability of metric threads if space or existing hardware constraints dictate. Evaluate the thermal management needs based on the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance and operating temperature limits.

Scrs Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-16RIA series of medium power phase control thyristors manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 100 V to 1200 V while maintaining a consistent 16 A current rating. These devices are engineered for industrial and consumer level applications requiring reliable high-power switching capabilities.

Scrs Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay VS-16RIA variants such as VS-16RIA120M for higher voltage ratings. Verify mechanical compatibility with the TO-48 package and ensure electrical parameters like holding current and gate trigger requirements match the circuit design before substitution.
