IXYS CLA40P1200FC, Thyristor 1200V, 40A 80mA

The IXYS CLA40PD phase leg thyristor contains two series connected thyristors and is suitable for use in single limb AC and DC power control applications. The device is housed in 5-pin through hole PCB mounting package.

Thyristors - IXYS

A Thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device with four layers of alternating N and P-type material. They act as bistable switches, conducting when their gate receives a current trigger, and continue to conduct while they are forward biased. Thyristors are synonymous to Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR).
Encapsulated modules with electrically isolated base plate. Suitable for applications such as battery chargers, welders and plating equipment, regulated power supplies and temperature and speed control circuits.
