The C450PD from Powerex is a Phase Control Silicon Controlled Rectifier that is ideal for power supply, motor control, and VAR generator applications. It has a break-over voltage of up to 1400 V and a break-over current of less than 28500 A. This thyristor has a gate trigger voltage of up to 5 V and a gate trigger current of 0.2 A. It offers low on-state voltage, which minimizes power loss. This SCR demonstrates exceptional di/dt and dv/dt capabilities, ensuring reliable performance even during rapid current and voltage fluctuations. It is encased in hermetic packaging that offers superior protection against environmental elements. This SCR includes an impressive surge and I2T ratings make it well-suited for demanding applications that demand high reliability and durability. It is available in a disc package that measures 73.7 x 27.69 mm.
