Thyristors

Westcode no longer manufacture part numbers N260KHx, N330KHx, N350MHx and N370MHx. GD Rectifiers offer Westcode thyristors with cables, part numbers: N0646LCxxx, N0910LSxxx, N1114LSxxx and N1114LSxxx as direct replacements for Westcode’s obsolete thyristors.

Fast Turn-off Thyristors

GD Rectifiers offers obsolete replacement parts for Westcode’s P300KHx and P350KHx which can now be ordered as P1007LS12D.

GD Rectifiers works closely with customers to ensure component availability of popular obsolete devices that are no longer on the market because of OEM obsolescence.
