Entering IEC TR 62380/RDF 2000 Low Power Diodes, Thyristors and Triacs
The following table describes the part parameters required for low power diodes, thyristors, and triacs when IEC TR 62380 or RDF 2000 is the selected calculation model.
Parameter
Type
Description
Type
Choice List
The type of device. Choices include Gallium Arsenide (GaAs); many Si types; and Thyristors, Triacs.
Package Type
