VS-VSKL250-08PBF

SCRs - Modules Overview

The VS-VSKL250-08PBF is a silicon SCR module manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an 800 V rated repetitive off-state voltage and a 250 A current rating, housed in the 3-MAGN-A-PAK™ package. The device integrates a Series Connection configuration combining an SCR and diode. Key electrical parameters include a non-repetitive surge current of 8.5 kA to 8.9 kA, a gate trigger voltage maximum of 3 V, and a gate trigger current maximum of 200 mA. It supports screw mount installation and operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +130°C.

SCRs - Modules Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status and check for specific datasheet revisions prior to integration. Note that this product may be subject to end-of-life notices; validate current availability and lifecycle status directly with the supplier before finalizing procurement plans.

SCRs - Modules Selection Notes

Select this component when an integrated SCR-diode solution is required for 800V applications. Ensure the system design accommodates the 250A continuous current rating and the specific gate trigger requirements of 3V max and 200mA max. Verify that the mounting interface matches the MAGN-A-PAK™ package dimensions and thermal resistance specifications.

SCRs - Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-VSKL series of silicon controlled rectifier modules from Vishay. It is distinct from the VSKD series, which are pure diode arrays. The VS-VSKL series provides combined switching and blocking capabilities in a single package, offering a space-saving alternative to discrete component implementations in high-power industrial electronics.

SCRs - Modules Replacement Considerations

• VS-VSKL250-12PBF (Higher voltage rating)
• VS-VSKH250-08PBF (SCR only, no integrated diode)
