VS-VSKL162/12PBF

SCRs - Modules Overview

The VS-VSKL162/12PBF is a silicon thyristor/diode discrete semiconductor module manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features an INT-A-PAK package with screw mount installation style. The device has a rated repetitive off-state voltage of 1200 V and an on-state current rating of 160 A. Key electrical parameters include a maximum gate trigger current of 150 mA, a maximum holding current of 200 mA, and a maximum breakover current of 5.1 kA. The operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +125°C.

SCRs - Modules Feature Summary

• Integrates a thyristor and diode in a single series-connected configuration within the INT-A-PAK housing.
• Utilizes silicon technology for robust power handling capabilities.
• Designed for secure mechanical attachment via screw mount installation.

SCRs - Modules Applications

• Industrial motor drive systems
• Power conversion circuits
• High-voltage DC transmission applications

SCRs - Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as sources list both Vishay Semiconductors and Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. Confirm the package type is INT-A-PAK and the mounting style is screw mount. Ensure the voltage rating matches the 1200 V requirement and check the lead time availability through authorized distributors.

SCRs - Modules Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined SCR and diode solution is required for high-voltage applications. The 1200 V rating suits medium-voltage industrial environments. Consider the 160 A current rating and INT-A-PAK form factor for thermal management and space constraints in chassis-mounted designs.

SCRs - Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-VSKL series of thyristor/diode modules. It shares the INT-A-PAK packaging family with other Vishay power modules like the VS-VSKU162/12PBF, though it differs in circuit topology by combining a thyristor and diode rather than being all SCRs.

SCRs - Modules Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Similar Vishay modules such as VS-VSKL162/16PBF exist but differ in voltage ratings (1600 V vs 1200 V). Verify compatibility before substitution.
