Key Features
- 750 V to 800 V breakover voltage range providing reliable thyristor triggering at AC line voltages in industrial power control circuits
- 30 mA holding current in a compact isolated 2-pin SIP package enabling direct gate triggering of SCRs and triacs without auxiliary circuitry
- Isolated case connection ensuring galvanic separation between trigger circuit and high-voltage AC line for enhanced safety in motor drive and protection designs
Applications
The IXBOD1-08 breakover diode is used as a triggering element for SCRs and triacs in AC line voltage snubber circuits, overvoltage protection, and motor soft-start controls operating at voltages up to 800 V. Its isolated SIP package simplifies PCB layout in switch-mode power supplies and AC motor drive circuits where the trigger network must be isolated from the main power rail. This device is also applied in crowbar protection circuits for industrial power converters requiring fast high-voltage breakover triggering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What breakover voltage range does the IXBOD1-08 support for thyristor triggering?
The IXBOD1-08 has a minimum breakover voltage of 750 V and a maximum of 800 V. This tight 50 V window ensures reliable and consistent triggering of SCRs and triacs in AC line circuits operating at mains voltages up to 480 V RMS, where the breakover event must occur within a predictable voltage band.
How does the isolated case of the IXBOD1-08 simplify PCB design compared to non-isolated breakover diodes?
The IXBOD1-08 isolated case connection electrically separates the device body from both terminals, which allows the SIP package to be mounted directly on a standard PCB without additional insulation hardware. This simplifies creepage and clearance compliance in industrial power control designs that must meet IEC 60664 for 800 V operating environments.
What is the holding current of the IXBOD1-08 and how does it affect circuit design?
The IXBOD1-08 has a holding current of 30 mA. The holding current is the minimum anode current required to keep the device in its conducting (latched) state after breakover. Circuit designs must ensure that the trigger current delivered to the gate of the downstream SCR or triac exceeds this 30 mA threshold to maintain a clean, reliable trigger pulse.
In which power control topologies can the IXBOD1-08 replace a diac for gate triggering?
The IXBOD1-08 can replace a standard diac in phase-control dimmer circuits, AC voltage regulators, and soft-start motor drives where the required breakover voltage is 750 V to 800 V rather than the typical 28 V to 42 V of a standard diac. It is specifically suited for direct AC line triggering at 480 V three-phase or 600 V industrial systems where diacs would be destroyed by the high voltage.
