The IXYS LKK47-06C5 is a six pin, logic level thyristor. The thyristor has been designed for high performance, medium power applications in industrial and communications applications. It is typically used in AC switching and chopper applications, as power regulators, as well as light dimmers and motor speed controllers. It has a low on-state voltage drop, low snubber losses, high power, and a wide range of gate trigger voltage levels. The device is isolated from the heat sink and sensitive to surge currents and inductive loads. It is available in TO-220, Flip-Chip, and SO-8 packages.
