SEMIKRON SKKT 162/16E Thyristor Module 1.6KV 156A
The SEMIKRON SKKT 162 is a robust thyristor/diode power module within the SEMIPACK® 2 series. It utilizes a high-reliability construction with hard-soldered joints and features an aluminum oxide ceramic isolated metal baseplate for efficient heat transfer from the semiconductor junctions to the heatsink. This design ensures electrical isolation while maximizing thermal performance.
The module is housed in a standardized A21 case and is rated for demanding industrial environments. It incorporates essential protection features, including UL recognition (File E 63 532), and is designed to handle high surge currents and repetitive operational stresses. The module’s construction prioritizes long-term reliability under thermal cycling and mechanical strain. It is classified as an Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Device (ESDS) per IEC 61340, requiring appropriate handling precautions.
The mechanical design includes specific torque requirements for mounting to heatsinks (5 Nm ±15%) and terminals, ensuring secure electrical and thermal contact. Its compact form factor (approx. 165g weight) integrates critical power semiconductor components into a single, thermally optimized package suitable for integration into various power electronic assemblies.
Features:
- Heat transfer through aluminium oxide ceramic isolated metal baseplate.
- Hard soldered joints for high reliability.
