VS-ST380C04C0

Scrs Overview

The VS-ST380C04C0 is a silicon SCR module manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 400 V and an on-state RMS current (It RMS) of 1.9 kA. The device supports a non-repetitive on-state peak current of 15 kA. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-state voltage of 1.6 V, a holding current (Ih) maximum of 600 mA, a gate trigger voltage (Vgt) of 3 V, and a gate trigger current (Igt) of 200 mA. The off-state leakage current at VDRM is 50 mA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and utilizes a clamp mount installation style in a TO-200AB (E-PUK) package.

Scrs Applications

• Industrial power control systems
• High-current AC switching applications
• Motor drive circuits

Scrs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision code suffix against official Vishay documentation to ensure compatibility with required thermal and mechanical specifications. Confirm component status as End-of-Life or obsolete through authorized distributors prior to procurement planning. Validate that the TO-200AB E-PUK package dimensions match the target heatsink interface requirements for proper clamp mounting.

Scrs Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high surge current handling capabilities up to 15 kA. Ensure the design accommodates the specified 1.6 V on-state voltage drop for thermal management calculations. Verify that the gate drive circuit can supply the required 200 mA trigger current reliably. Consider the 400 V blocking voltage rating relative to the system's peak reverse voltage to maintain adequate safety margins.

Scrs Part Context

This part belongs to the ST380 series of silicon controlled rectifiers from Vishay. These modules are designed for robust performance in demanding power electronics environments. The E-PUK packaging variant indicates a specific mechanical form factor optimized for clamp mounting onto cooling surfaces, distinguishing it from other screw-mount or bolt-mount thyristor packages in the broader product line.
