C604
40mm / 4500 V THYRISTOR
Type C604 thyristor is suitable for phase control applications such as static VAR compensators and
synchronous motor drives.
The silicon junction is manufactured by the proven multi-diffusion process and is supplied in an
industry standard disc-type package, ready to mount to forced or naturally cooled heat dissipators
using commercially available mechanical clamping hardware.
