The IXBOD2-50R is a bidirectional sidac with breakover diode manufactured by IXYS Corporation. The device consists of two series-connected, bidirectional sidacs in a single package. The device offers low leakage current and a high holding current, making it suitable for applications such as relays, inductive loads, motor control, and load switching. The sidacs feature a breakdown voltage rating of 250V, a hold current rating of 50A and a surge current rating of 500A. The low thermal resistance allows the device to dissipate high amounts of heat without the need for external cooling. Additionally, the device features a hermetic seal allowing it to operate in harsh environments.
