VS-VSKV105/16

SCRs - Modules Overview

The VS-VSKV105/16 is a thyristor module from the VSKV105 series by Vishay Semiconductors. It features an AAP Gen 7 (TO-240AA) package with two SCRs in a common anode configuration. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1600 V and an average on-state current of 105 A at 85 °C case temperature. Continuous RMS on-state current reaches 165 A under DC conditions. Non-repetitive surge current capabilities are rated at 2000 A for 50 Hz and 2094 A for 60 Hz frequencies.

SCRs - Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Vishay documentation to confirm the exact voltage code and circuit configuration. Ensure that the procurement specifications align with the required electrical ratings and mechanical mounting standards defined in the datasheet before finalizing orders.

SCRs - Modules Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required voltage rating, specifically the 1600 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. Consider the thermal management requirements, as the junction-to-case thermal resistance is 0.22 °C/W per leg. Verify compatibility with the TO-240AA mounting style and ensure the application demands a common anode SCR configuration.

SCRs - Modules Part Context

This module belongs to the VS-VSKU105.. and VS-VSKV105.. series, which utilize the AAP Gen 7 package. This generation combines advanced compact packaging with minimized internal interfaces. The series covers various voltage codes ranging from 400 V to 1600 V while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities across the family.

SCRs - Modules Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Vishay modules within the same VSKV105 series sharing the 1600 V rating and common anode topology. Cross-reference dimensions and pinout configurations to ensure mechanical fitment without modification.
