40TPS...A/40TPS...

High Voltage Series

Vishay High Power Products

Phase Control SCR, 35 A

DESCRIPTION/FEATURES
2
(A) The 40TPS...A High Voltage Series of silicon controlled
rectifiers are specifically designed for medium power
switching and phase control applications. The glass
passivation technology used has reliable operation up to
125 °C junction temperature. Low Igt parts available.
TO-247AC 1 (K) (G) 3 Typical applications are in input rectification (soft start) and
these products are designed to be used with Vishay HPP
input diodes, switches and output rectifiers which are
