International Rectifier Introduces 1200V and 1600V Silicon Controlled Rectifiers Rated for 75A in Compact Epoxy Package.EL SEGUNDO El Segundo (ĕl sēgŭn`dō), industrial city (1990 pop. 15,223), Los Angeles co., S Calif., on Santa Monica Bay; inc. 1917. Its products include navigation and computer systems, aircraft parts, office machines, telephone apparatus, and , Calif. -- International Rectifier International Rectifier Corp. (NYSE: IRF) is a manufacturer of power semiconductors (MOSFET, IGBT, diodes and thyristors), located in El Segundo, California, USA. It has a market capitalization of 2.48 billion USD and is listed on the S&P Midcap 400. , IR(r) (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :IRF IRF Interferon Regulatory Factor IRF International Religious Freedom IRF Institut for Rationel Farmakoterapi (German) IRF Inherited Rights Filter (Novell) IRF Inherited Rights Filter ), a world leader in power management technology, today announced the 75A-rated 70TPS (1) (Transactions Per Second) The number of transactions processed within one second. TPS is a better rating for the performance of hardware and software than the common MHz and GHz rating of the computer. 12 and 70TPS16 silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) in the Super-247(tm) package. The SCR (Sequence Control Register) See program counter. is used in a multitude of applications, ranging from motor drive input bridges to line-frequency welding machines. The new SCRs expand the IR portfolio of discrete plastic SCRs and now cover from 10A to 75A, with voltages up to 1600V, covering the most popular requests from industrial power designers. "Both 1200V and 1600V devices have excellent thermal performance. For example, the junction-to-case thermal resistance of the 70TPS12 and the 70TPS16 is very low, with about 12% better thermal resistance than competing devices on the market, offering an advantage that can increase reliability," said Silvestro Fimiani, International Rectifier Product Marketing Manager. IR's Super-247 package has lower thermal resistance (0.27 degrees Celsius per Watt), and has the same power handling capability as the larger JEDEC The division of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) that deals with semiconductor standards (officially, the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association of EIA). JEDEC was formed in 1958 when the Joint Electron Tube Engineering Council (JETEC) split into two Joint Electron Device TO-264 package. However, the Super-247 has the same footprint as the common TO-247. Other benefits include 1400V surge capability, which is useful for safe operation in case a fault condition exists, like a short circuit, and a maximum on-state voltage of 1.4V at 100A, for low power dissipation. A data sheet is posted for the 70TPS12 and 70TPS16 on the International Rectifier Web site: http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/70tps.pdf Pricing and Availability Pricing for the 70TPS12 is US $6.60 each and the 70TPS16 is US $7 each in 100-unit quantities. The new SCRs are available immediately. About International Rectifier International Rectifier (NYSE:IRF) is a world leader in power management technology.
