The BTA216B-600D is a 1-channel medium-power 600 V high-performance thyristor manufactured by NXP. It is a low-loss, fast-switching device designed for AC static switching and phase control applications. The device features a low forward voltage drop, low susepstibility to transient overvoltages, and an increased guaranteed on-state current of 118A. The device’s quad-ring isolation construction ensures optimal robustness, due to its insulated gate structure, and improved thermal performance, due to its ceramic surface. The device is suited for use in motor control systems, lighting controllers, transformers, and rectifiers.
