VS-ST180C16C0

Scrs Overview

The VS-ST180C16C0 is a silicon Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) module manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage of 1.2 kV and an RMS on-state current of 660 A. The device supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 5 kA with a maximum holding current of 600 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and utilizes a clamp mount installation style in a TO-200AB (A-PUK) package.

Scrs Feature Summary

• High-power SCR configuration designed for robust industrial applications
• Capable of handling significant RMS and peak on-state currents
• Utilizes a clamp mount mechanical interface for secure thermal management

Scrs Applications

• Industrial motor drives
• Power supply systems
