VS-VSKV56/06

SCRs - Modules Overview

The VS-VSKV56/06 is a thyristor module from the VS-VSKV56 series manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a dual SCR configuration with common anodes housed in an ADD-A-PAK (TO-240AA) package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and handles a maximum average on-state current of 60 A at 85 °C case temperature. It provides high surge capability with a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 1256 A at 60 Hz.

SCRs - Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the circuit configuration, as the 'V' code indicates a common anode arrangement. Confirm compliance with RoHS3 specifications and material categorization requirements before procurement. Ensure mounting torque adheres to the specified 4 Nm limit plus or minus 10 percent to maintain proper thermal interface integrity.

SCRs - Modules Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual SCR module with common anode topology is required for general purpose high voltage applications. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics against the expected conduction angles and heatsink capabilities. Consider the 400 V blocking voltage rating relative to the system's peak operating voltages and transient conditions.

SCRs - Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-VSKV56 series within the AAP Gen 7 product line. The series offers standard thyristor modules rated for 60 A average current. The TO-240AA package provides a compact solution with simplified internal structure and minimized interfaces for easy mounting on heatsinks.

SCRs - Modules Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer documentation for cross-reference data. Verify that any substitute maintains the same common anode configuration and meets the 60 A current and 400 V voltage ratings.
