This Voltage Controlled Solidtron
TM
(VCS) discharge switch
utilizes an n-type MOS-Controlled Thyristor mounted in a five
leaded TO-247 plastic package.
The VCS features the high peak current capability and low On-
state voltage drop common to SCR thyristors combined with
extremely high dI/dt capability. This semiconductor is intended
for the control of high power circuits with the use of very small
amounts of input energy and is ideally suited for capacitor
discharge applications.
The industry standard TO-247 package allows for integration of
the Solidtron using automated insertion equipment.
