August 2013 - IXYS UK Westcode introduces a 500A, 2.5KV GTO

IXYS UK Westcode Ltd. has introduced a 500A, 2.5KV GTO (gate turn-off) thyristor in a new smaller package. The new GTO thyristor rated at 500A & 2.5kV is based on IXYS UK’s established S0500KC device; the die design has the same active area and performance, but with an improved termination design which allows the device to be encapsulated in a smaller 25mm pole face package.
