VishayST 180S16POV

ST180S16P0V 1600V 200A stud-mount phase control thyristor / SCR in TO-93 package, suitable for industrial rectifiers, controlled DC power supplies, AC power controllers, DC motor controls and high-current phase control applications.

The ST180S16P0V is an industrial power thyristor / SCR from the ST180S series, supplied in a TO-209AB / TO-93 stud-mount package. It features 200A average on-state current IT(AV), 314A RMS on-state current IT(RMS) and 1600V maximum repetitive peak off-state and reverse voltage for voltage code 16. The hermetic metal case with ceramic insulator and compression bonded construction make it suitable for heavy-duty industrial operation and severe thermal cycling.

Technical description

The ST180S16P0V is a stud-type phase control thyristor designed for power control at low frequencies, mainly around mains frequency. It features center amplifying gate construction, high surge current capability, controlled conduction in rectifier and regulator circuits and a threaded stud package for strong mechanical and thermal coupling to a heatsink.

Typical applications

Suitable for DC motor controls, controlled DC power supplies, AC controllers, industrial rectifiers, high-power battery chargers, welding equipment, power regulators, heating load controllers and general SCR controlled rectification applications.

Compatibility note

The ST180S16P0V is a thyristor / SCR and not a diode, TRIAC, IGBT or MOSFET. Before replacement, verify the exact part number, 1600V voltage rating, 200A current rating, stud polarity, gate / auxiliary cathode lead type, thread type, cooling, mounting torque and gate drive circuit. The V marking on the body and ceramic ring construction should be checked against the physical device and the datasheet of the exact version.
