VS-VSKV71/12

SCRs - Modules Overview

The VS-VSKV71/12 is a thyristor module from the VS-VSKU71.. and VS-VSKV71.. series manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features an AAP Gen 7 (TO-240AA) package with two SCRs in a common anode configuration. The device has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1200 V, a maximum average on-state current of 75 A at 85 °C case temperature, and a continuous RMS on-state current of 115 A. It supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 1360 A at 60 Hz.

SCRs - Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific circuit configuration code matches the requirement; 'V' indicates a common anode arrangement. Confirm the voltage suffix corresponds to the required blocking voltage rating. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 specifications and check for any recent product change notices affecting availability or material composition before finalizing procurement plans.

SCRs - Modules Selection Notes

Select this component when a common anode dual SCR topology is required within the TO-240AA form factor. Evaluate thermal management requirements against the junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.29 °C/W per leg. Verify that the gate trigger parameters align with the driving circuit capabilities across the specified operating temperature range.

SCRs - Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-VSKU71.. and VS-VSKV71.. series, which are thyristor modules rated for 75 A. The series offers voltage codes ranging from 400 V to 1600 V. The VS-VSKV71/12 specifically denotes the 1200 V variant with a common anode internal connection, housed in the ADD-A-PAK Generation VII package.

SCRs - Modules Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other parts within the VS-VSKU71.. and VS-VSKV71.. series sharing the same current rating and package type. Cross-reference the circuit configuration code to ensure compatibility between common cathode and common anode variants.
