The electronics industry is constantly evolving, and it’s not uncommon for manufacturers to stop producing older components in favor of new technologies. Others are experiencing supply or planning difficulties, and are reporting very long lead times and delays. This can pose a major challenge for companies that depend on these components for their existing systems and applications. This is particularly true of screw-in diodes (also known as bolt-in diodes) and screw-in thyristors (or bolt-in thyristors). Powerex has solutions to help its customers cope with these difficulties.
Reliable alternatives for sustainable performance
Powerex is increasingly called upon to meet these specific requirements. We have already been able to provide our customers with numerous alternatives. We understand that replacing obsolete components can be tricky, as it can affect the performance and durability of existing systems. That’s why we offer carefully designed alternatives that come as close as possible to the performance of older products. Our screw-in diodes and thyristors are rigorously tested to guarantee perfect compatibility with existing systems.
