70TPS12A SCR 1.2kV 75A Standard Recovery Through Hole TO-247

70TPS12A SCR 1.2kV 75A Standard Recovery Through Hole TO-247

The 70TPS12A belongs to International Rectifier’s SAFEIR family of phase‑control silicon‑controlled rectifiers, packaged in a rugged Super‑247 (TO‑247) through‑hole case. Engineered for high‑ and medium‑power switching applications, it handles an average on‑state current of 70 A (sinusoidal half‑wave at 82 °C) and a continuous RMS current of 75 A, with repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 1 200 V. Its standard‑recovery design features a blocking voltage of up to 1 200 V (1 600 V variant available), and it endures non‑repetitive surge currents up to 1 400 A (10 ms, no voltage reapplied).

The device’s built‑in thermal shutdown and robust junction‑to‑case thermal resistance (0.27 °C/W) support reliable operation from –40 °C to +125 °C. Gate trigger requirements span 80–270 mA across temperature extremes, ensuring consistent turn‑on performance.

With a peak on‑state voltage drop of 1.4 V at 100 A, turn‑on di/dt capability of 150 A/µs, and dv/dt immunity of 500 V/µs, the 70TPS12A is optimized for input rectification (soft‑start), AC‑switching, crowbar protection, and phase‑angle control in UPS systems, welding equipment, and motor drives. Its standardized TO‑247 footprint and compatibility with companion IR diodes make it straightforward to integrate into heatsink‑mounted power assemblies.
