BT152-13A-600V Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR)

The BT152-13A-600V is a planar passivated silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) designed for high-performance power switching and control applications. It is specifically intended for use in circuits that require exceptionally high inrush current capability and robust thermal cycling performance. Common applications include motor control circuits, ignition systems, voltage regulation, and overvoltage protection (crowbar) circuits. Because of its high bidirectional blocking voltage capability and rugged planar passivated design, it ensures reliability and voltage ruggedness in demanding industrial environments. The device is housed in a standard TO-220AB package, which allows for secure mounting to a heat sink to maintain stable operation under continuous high-current loads. This makes it an ideal choice for both domestic appliances and industrial static switching systems.

Key Features:

Repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 Volts.

Non-repetitive peak on-state surge current (ITSM) of 200 Amperes.

Gate trigger current (IGT) typically ranging from 3.0 to 32 Milliamperes.

High thermal cycling performance for long-term reliability.

Standard TO-220AB plastic package for effective heat dissipation.
