This scr CS45-16IO1R thyristor manufactured from Ixys Corporation acts as a bistable switch and will continue to operate when a voltage is applied to it. This device has a surge current rating of 560 A. In order to ensure parts aren"t damaged by bulk packaging, this product comes in tube packaging to add a little more protection by storing the loose parts in an outer tube. This SCR thyristor has a minimum operating temperature of -40 °C and a maximum of 150 °C. Its repetitive peak forward blocking voltage is 1600 V, while its repetitive peak reverse voltage is 1600 V.
