AN5950 Datasheet, PDF (1/23 Pages) Dynex Semiconductor – TABLES OF CHARACTERISTICS

INTRODUCTION
This note will guide you through the Dynex i²
Phase Control Thyristor data sheet format and
explain its contents. For the purpose of
discussion and illustration, Dynex datasheet
for the DCR3030V42 has been chosen and its
contents explained in sequence starting from
the first page.
The i² Phase Control Thyristor datasheet
includes tables and graphs of data regarding
device ratings and characteristics. In order to
use the datasheet properly it is important that
the user has a good understanding of the
information presented in the datasheet. Also
when benchmarking with similar product from
a different supplier, allowance should be
made for any difference in the way the
parameters are defined, specified and
measured. Hopefully this will promote an
efficient and reliable use of the device and
also help the user to make a correct choice of
device for the intended application.
The datasheet is organised in the following
sections:
 PART NUMBER
 FEATURES
 APPLICATIONS
 TABLE OF VOLTAGE RATINGS
 ORDERING INFORMATION
 KEY PARAMETERS/PACKAGE OUTLINE
 TABLES OF RATINGS
o CURRENT RATINGS
o SURGE RATINGS
o THERMAL AND MECHANICAL

PART NUMBER
DCR3030V42
The part numbering scheme for the Dynex i²
Phase Control Thyristor is as follows:
DCR = Dynex Control Rectifier
3030 = Headline average current rating (A)
V
= Package code
42 = Maximum repetitive voltage
rating (V)/100
A Dynex datasheet is a controlled document
with a specific document number, issue
number, and date. This information appears
below the device type in the header on the
right hand side of the first page . Dynex
reserves the right to change the data without
notice and so the users are advised to refer to
the latest version by visiting Dynex web site:
