BTW69-1200 Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR)

The BTW69-1200 is a high-performance silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) designed for high-power switching and control tasks in industrial environments. It is specifically engineered to handle significant current loads, with an RMS current rating of 50 Amperes and a voltage tolerance of up to 1200 Volts. This makes it an ideal component for applications such as motor starters, industrial heaters, welding equipment, and large power supply regulation. One of its primary advantages is the insulated TOP3 package, which provides a high level of electrical isolation between the internal circuit and the external heat sink. This simplified mechanical mounting reduces the need for additional insulating materials. Its rugged design and high surge current capability ensure long-term reliability even under harsh operating conditions involving frequent thermal cycling and electrical stress.

Key Features:

Repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 1200 Volts.

Non-repetitive peak on-state surge current (ITSM) of 580 Amperes.

High gate sensitivity with a maximum trigger current (IGT) of 50 Milliamperes.

High insulation voltage rating (2500 Volts RMS) between terminals and cooling plate.

Robust TOP3 insulated plastic package for high power industrial applications.
