C5

HV switch, variable on-time, bi-directional / AC voltage, MOSFET  

● Versatile HV switch with true relay character ● Polarity independent ● Ideal for oscillating circuits and general RF applications ● On-time controllable by TTL signal ● Robust regarding overload and voltage reversal  ● Now available: LC2 technology for highest transient immunity

Technical Note:  BEHLKE solid-state switches have extreme rise and fall times. If your application does not require the full switching speed we suggest you the use of the speed limiting option S-TT (rise & fall times slower by approx. 50%) in combination with the input low pass filter option LP. These options help to minimize the high frequency difficulties typical for fast high voltage pulse circuits  (e.g. self oscillating or self re-triggering) and simplify the EMC design in general. 

 

Product Code: The model number contains coded information about voltage, current and turn-on behavior.  The first digits stand for the voltage in kV, the last digit before the dash indicates the turn-on behavior (0 = fixed on-time, 1 = variable on-time). The digits after the dash indicate the current  in Amperes x10. Special features are coded by the letters after a second dash.  Example HTS 11-07-AC-C:  HTS = HV Transistor Switch, 1 = 1 kV,  1 = variable on-time, 07 = 70 Ampere, AC = Alternating Current, C = Compact Series

NOTES: 1) The on-resistance of a bi-directional MOSFET switch is voltage and current depending.The on-resistance specified above refers to a load current of  0.1 x Ip(max) and an operating voltage of  > 0.01 x Vo(max). The speciified on-resistance will be increased by the factor 2 if the operating voltage is less than 1% of the maximum voltage rating.
 

Options (1)

 
B-CON Beginner's Configuration: The standard switch is equipped with various options to simplify first time experiments for users which are inexperienced with high voltage and high frequency circuit design. The beginner's configuration includes option FH and PT-HV for easy wiring and attachment without printed circuit boards, as well as option LS-C, LP and S-TT for an uncritical EMC behavior. Inexperienced users should also consider the combination with option I-PC or PC to avoid possible difficulties from the high voltage wiring and / or high frequency noise behavior.  (2)     

HFB

High Frequency Burst: Improved burst capability of driver by means of external buffer capacitors. Recommended if more than 10 pulses with less than 10 μs spacing are generated.

HFS

High Frequency Switching: External supply of auxiliary driver voltage (50-350 VDC according to type). Necessary if the specified “Maximum Operating Frequency” shall be exceeded. (2)

LP

Low Pass: Low pass filter at the control input. Propagation delay time will be increased by ~50 ns. Jitter + 500 ps.  Improved noise immunity and  less critical wiring in high speed applications. (3)

S-TT

Soft Transition Time: ”Turn-On Rise Time” & “Turn-Off Rise Time” increased by ~20%. Simplified EMC design and less critical wiring if the shortest possible edge steepness is not required. (3)

MIN-ON

Minimum On-Time: Individually increased Minimum On-Time to ensure a minimum on duration indepently of control signal.  For safety relevant circuits.

MIN-OFF

Minimum Off-Time: Individually increased Minimum Off-Time to ensure a minimum off duration indepently of control signal. For safety relevant circuits.

ST

Stage Tapping:  Connectors at the individual stages of stack in order to utilize single power semiconductors. To achieve fast rise times also at very low operating voltages (<0.01xVo).

LNC

Low Natural Capacitance: CN reduced by approximately 30%. To minimize capacitive power losses in applications with high switching frequency and high switching voltage (Pc= V2 x C x f).

LL

Low Leakage Current: Off-state current reduced to less than 10%  of the specified value. Not available in connection with the cooling fin options and for switches of the UF series.

LN

Low Noise:  Internal power driver modified for zero noise emission for a specific period of time. Relevant in conjunction with sensitive detector amplifiers (e.g. SEV/MCP applications) only. (2)

ISO-25

25 kV Isolation:  Isolation Voltage increased to  25 kVDC. Housing dimensions may change for some models.

80 kV Isolation:  Isolation Voltage increased to  80 kVDC. Housing dimensions may change for some models.  Only in connection with option PT-HV.

ISO-120

120 kV Isolation: Isolation Voltage increased to 120 kVDC. Housing dimensions may change for some models. Only in connection with option PT-HV.

PL

Passive Lock: Special inhibit function for two single switches in fast push-pull circuits. The input of the passive switch will be locked by the activated switch to avoid turn-on by noise.

Integrated Part Components: Integration of small part components according to customer’s specifications (e.g. buffer capacitors, snubbers, damping resistors, diodes, opto couplers). (2)

I-FWD

Integrated Free-Wheeling Diode:  Built-in parallel diode with short recovery time. In connection with inductive load only.

I-FWDN

Integrated Free-Wheeling Diode Network: Built-in parallel diode plus serial blocking diode  with short recovery time. In connection with inductive load only.

LS-C

PT-C

Pigtail for Control Connection: Flexible leads (l=75 mm) with AMP-modu plug. Refers to switching modules with pins only. Suggested for modules with options CF & GCF.

PT-HV

Pigtails for HV Connection: Flexible leads with cable lugs. For increased creepage. PT-HV is standard for all types with >25 kV switching voltage. Not for extremely fast circuits.

ST-HV

Screw Terminals for HV Connection: Threaded inserts at the bottom of module for PCB attachment. Operation above 25 kV requires liquid insulation (Galden®/Oil) or potting.

SEP-C

Separated Control Unit. Control unit with LED indicators in a separate housing (dim. 79x38x17 mm). Linkage cable (<1m) with plug. Control unit with soldering pins or pigtails.
FOI-I Fibre Optics Input / Inhibit: Additional optical inhibit input to turn-off the switch by using the inhibit input with a fibre-optical signal (only in combination with option SEP-C) (2)
FOI-C Fibre Optics Input / Control: Additional optical control input to trigger the switch with a fibre-optical signal (only in combination with option SEP-C) (2)
FOO-F Fibre Optical Output / Fault: Additional optical output to read-out the failure condition with a fibre-optical signal (only in combination with option SEP-C) (2)

UL94

Flame Retardant Casting Resin: Casting resin according to UL-94-VO. Minimum order quantity required. (2)
FH Flange Housing: Plastic flange housing for isolated attachment on conductive surfaces. Ideal if the switch is not intended for printed circuit boards. Option PT-HV is suggested.

TH

Tubular Housing: Tubular instead of rectangular housing. Adaption to specific ambient conditions or in case  of difficult assembly situations. (2)

FC

Flat Case: Height of standard plastic housings reduced to 19 mm or less. Not in combination with cooling options CF, GCF and DLC.

ITC

Increased Thermal Conductivity: Special moulding process to increase the thermal conductivity of the module. Pd(max) will be increased by approx. 20-30%. (2)

CF

Copper Cooling Fins d = 0.5 mm: Fin height 35 mm. Nickel plated. For air cooling with forced or natural convection as well as for liquid cooling with non-conductive coolants.
