Scrs Procurement Notes
Verify the specific datasheet revision number against the manufacturer's official documentation before finalizing procurement decisions. Confirm that the ordering suffix accurately reflects the required halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and lead-free termination specifications. Ensure all technical parameters align with the application requirements as stated in the latest Vishay product specification.
Scrs Selection Notes
Select this component based on its 1600 V blocking capability and 35 A average current rating. Evaluate thermal management requirements by referencing the junction-to-case thermal resistance value. Verify gate triggering characteristics against the driver circuit capabilities. Ensure the physical dimensions of the TO-247AC package fit the intended PCB layout and heatsinking constraints.
Scrs Part Context
This part belongs to the VS-40TPS series of high voltage phase control SCRs manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series is designed specifically for medium power switching applications requiring robust performance under high voltage conditions. The M3 suffix indicates compliance with environmental directives regarding halogens, RoHS, and lead content.
Scrs Replacement Considerations
Consult the official Vishay documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other manufacturers' devices without verifying electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions.
Scrs FAQ
What is the maximum non-repetitive surge current rating?
The maximum non-repetitive surge current is 500 A for a 10 ms sine pulse with no voltage reapplied.
How does the junction temperature affect gate triggering current?
The maximum required DC gate current to trigger decreases as the junction temperature increases, dropping from 270 mA at -40 °C to 80 mA at 125 °C.
What is the maximum rate of rise of turned-on current?
The maximum rate of rise of turned-on current (dI/dt) is 100 A/µs at a junction temperature of 25 °C.
