Westcode N280CH12H00 Silicon Controlled Rectifier

The Westcode N280CH12H00 Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) is designed for industrial power control systems that demand high-current switching and controlled rectification. Built with a disc / press-pack mounting style and industrial-grade construction, it is intended for heavy-duty electrical equipment and can handle demanding power regulation tasks in industrial environments. The device functions as a controlled power switch and rectifier for power rectification, AC-to-DC conversion, and motor-drive control, making it well-suited for motor drives and power conversion equipment. Key identifiers include MPN N280CH12H00, Brand Westcode, Model 8505, and Product Type SCR Thyristor, with Device Type Silicon Controlled Rectifier. It supports high-current electrical switching and is commonly used in industrial power control applications, with common replacements including IXYS Westcode SCR Thyristor, ABB Phase Control Thyristor, and Semikron SCR Power Module.
