VS-VSKT56/08 is listed in the SCRs - Modules range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. Its product description is MODULE THYRISTOR 60A ADD-A-PAK. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The VS-VSKT56/08 is a thyristor module manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes the ADD-A-PAK package for base mounting. The device features an on-state RMS current of 135 A and a non-repetitive on-state current capability of 1200 A. Its rated repetitive off-state voltage is specified at 800 V, with an off-state leakage current of 15 mA at VDRM. The on-state voltage drop is 1.7 V, while the maximum holding current is 200 mA. Gate trigger voltage is rated at 2.5 V.
Verify the specific suffix against official Vishay datasheets to confirm voltage ratings and package variations. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management solutions due to the base-mount configuration. Cross-reference part numbers within the VSKT56 series to identify exact electrical matches for replacement or upgrade scenarios without assuming functional equivalence across different voltage codes.
Select this component based on the required 800 V blocking voltage and 135 A continuous current rating. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics inherent to the ADD-A-PAK form factor when designing heatsinking. Verify gate trigger requirements align with the control circuitry. Compare against other Vishay SCR modules if higher current or voltage margins are needed for the specific application environment.
This component belongs to the Vishay VSKT56 series of silicon controlled rectifier modules. The series offers various voltage ratings within the same physical footprint, allowing design flexibility. The ADD-A-PAK style provides a standardized mounting interface common in industrial power electronics, facilitating integration into existing chassis designs requiring reliable thyristor switching.
Direct substitutes include other Vishay VSKT56 series variants with matching 800 V ratings, such as VS-VSKT56/08 equivalents from authorized distributors. Verify pinout and thermal pad alignment before substitution.
