Instructions for Use:

General Handling:

• Storage: Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Handle with care to avoid damage to the leads and body. Use appropriate ESD protection.

Mounting:

• Through-hole Mounting: Ensure proper alignment and secure mounting using appropriate tools and techniques.
• Thermal Management: Use a heatsink if necessary to manage thermal dissipation, especially under high current conditions.

Electrical Connections:

• Anode (A): Connect to the positive side of the circuit.
• Cathode (K): Connect to the negative side of the circuit.
• Gate (G): Apply the trigger signal to this terminal to turn on the thyristor.

Operating Conditions:

• Voltage and Current Ratings: Do not exceed the maximum RMS voltage and current ratings.
• Surge Current: Ensure that the peak surge current does not exceed 600 A for more than 8.3 ms.
• Temperature: Operate within the specified temperature range to avoid thermal stress and potential failure.

Gate Triggering:

• Trigger Current (Igt): Apply a minimum of 50 mA to the gate to ensure reliable triggering.
• Trigger Voltage (Vgt): The gate trigger voltage should be at least 1.5 V.

Holding Current:

• Minimum Holding Current (Ih): Maintain a minimum current of 5 mA through the thyristor to keep it in the conducting state.

Safety Precautions:

• Isolation: Ensure proper isolation to prevent electrical shock.
• Overvoltage Protection: Consider using overvoltage protection devices to safeguard against transient voltages.
• Cooling: Monitor the temperature of the device and use adequate cooling methods to prevent overheating.
