SKKH162/16E 1600V 162A Thyristor Diode Module

SKKH162/16E Thyristor/Diode Module

The SKKH162/16E is a robust thyristor/diode module designed for demanding industrial and commercial power electronics applications. With a voltage rating of 1600V and a current capacity of 156A at 85°C, it ensures reliable operation under high-power conditions. The module’s SEMIPACK 2 housing (94x34x30 mm) provides excellent thermal management and mechanical stability, making it suitable for integration into motor drives, power regulators, and other high-load applications.

Built for durability and efficiency, the SKKH162/16E features a high surge current capability of 5000A, low thermal resistance (0.18°C/W), and a junction temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. Its electrically insulated ceramic base plate and hard-soldered joints enhance both mechanical and electrical reliability. These characteristics make it ideal for continuous operation in industrial settings, ensuring minimal downtime and long-term performance under heavy load conditions.

This module is widely used in AC motor drives, welding equipment, temperature control systems, and power converters, offering consistent performance in critical applications. Its compact SEMIPACK 2 form factor allows for easy mounting and integration while maintaining excellent heat dissipation and electrical isolation.
