BT145-800 Thyristor 800V 25A Through Hole TO-220
The BT145-800 is a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) thyristor designed for high-voltage and high-current switching applications. It features an 800V repetitive peak off-state voltage capability and can handle substantial load currents, making it suitable for industrial power control circuits, motor drives, heating controllers, and static switching systems. The device is housed in a TO-220 package, allowing easy mounting and efficient heat dissipation.
This thyristor utilizes glass-passivated junction technology to provide reliable performance, excellent thermal cycling endurance, and stable operation in demanding environments. Once triggered through the gate terminal, the device remains conducting until the current drops below the holding current level, making it ideal for phase-angle control and power regulation applications. Typical uses include lighting dimmers, temperature controllers, AC switches, and power conversion equipment.
Features:
- High blocking voltage capability.
- High surge current handling.
- Glass-passivated junction construction.
