Simplify thermal management with a power thyristor in a PLUS247 package
To rectify line frequency in soft-start applications, the CMA160E1600HF power thyristor from Littelfuse is a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) in a high-current and thermally efficient PLUS247 package.
The thermal resistance of the CMA160E1600HF is 0.15K/W, and the PLUS247 package offers current of 160A, which is a higher than the current of a standard TO-247 package.
This power thyristor also offers low off-state losses in addition to improved surge robustness. The increased system efficiency which is enabled by the CMA160E1600HF is added to long-term stability for applications which include the control of temperature and lighting, as well as ac and dc motors and industrial power supplies.
