Hello. I have this thyristor

I have looked up for the datasheet but I wasn´t able to find it. Anyone can help me?

thank you

Best regards

 

Have you tried Westcode site?
They are still around, maybe a support line there

Hello,

No datasheet to be found.
A lot of sites selling them:
https://www.google.com/search?clien...et&cx=partner-pub-2550509481199141:3212161726
Not all sites are recommendable.
They seem to cost a lot.

I generally have been very lucky by contacting manuf;
They are still around so you could be lucky there.

 

Hello,

The power components now seem to be from IXYS UK Westcode.
See here: https://www.gdrectifiers.co.uk/manufacturer/ixys-uk-westcode/
Your part does not show up.

Have you tried GALCO, I used to buy this items from them. Galco.com

 

A hockey-puck thyristor.
Boy, those bring memories.
Those were expensive, but also capable of switching several hundreds of amps at voltages close or exceeding 1 kV

 

Thank you for your help. I´ll try all the options. If I get it, I´ll post it

 

What is it out of?

Hello,

What is it out of?

I think JohnSan means of wich instrument is the thyristor a part of.

Bertus

 

Yes.
One link mentions Allen Bradley soft start units or rectifiers.

Do you have the complete unit and is there a rating plate on it?
Does that have a type code or model number?

More info might be gained from that, if you can post it?

 

Hi. I wasn´t lucky contancting with the manofacturer.

The only info I have is the number in the picture. No idea where the component came out.

Well, at least, to make some test. What is the typical trigger voltage in that kind of big thyristors?

 

See this as example.
