SEMIKRON SKKT 72/16 E Thyristor Diode Module 70A 1.6kV

The SEMIKRON SKKT 72/16 E is a high-reliability SEMIPACK®1 Thyristor/Diode Module, designed for demanding power management applications. It features hard-soldered joints for robust mechanical and electrical integrity, ensuring long-term operational stability in harsh environments. A key aspect of its design is efficient heat dissipation through an aluminium oxide ceramic isolated metal baseplate, which is UL recognised (E63532), enhancing its thermal management capabilities and overall safety profile.

This module is engineered to handle significant power loads with an average forward current of 70A and an on-state RMS current of 125A. It offers high voltage tolerance with a peak repetitive off-state and reverse voltage of 1.6kV, making it suitable for controlling high-power circuits. The gate trigger parameters are precisely controlled, with a maximum trigger current of 150mA and a maximum gate trigger voltage of 3V, ensuring reliable switching performance.

Key Applications

The SKKT 72/16 E is an ideal component for sophisticated electronic control systems. Its primary uses include motor drive control for industrial machinery, lighting control systems, advanced thermal management solutions, and general power management in industrial and commercial equipment. Its robust construction and reliable performance make it a cornerstone in power electronics design.
