Description
The SPT312 reverse blocking thyristor is suitable for inverter applications up to 200Hz. The silicon junction is manufactured by the proven multi-diffusion process and utilizes the exclusive eight (8) arms involute gate structure for lower switching losses. The design utilizes the revolutionary "Light Silicon Sandwich" or LSS technology, a new termination technique which eliminates heavy refractory metal as a substrate but still employs the alloyed anode interface necessary for high surge current duty.
