SAFEIR Series
30TPS..
PHASE CONTROL SCR
VT < 1.3V @ 20A
ITSM = 300A
VRRM 800 to 1600V
Description/Features
The 30TPS.. SAFE IR series of silicon controlled
rectifiers are specifically designed for medium
power switching and phase control applications.
The glass passivation technology used has reli-
able operation up to 125C junction temperature.

Typical applications are in input rectification (soft

start) and these products are designed to be used
with International Rectifier input diodes, switches
and output rectifiers which are available in identi-
cal package outlines.
