Vishay Dual Thyristor Module 1200 V 5.1 kA 160 A 270 mA 1.54 V INT-A-PAK 7-Pin VS-VSKT162/12PBF

Vishay Dual Thyristor Module VS-VSKT162/12PBF is a robust semiconductor device designed for high-power switching applications. It features a dual thyristor configuration encapsulated in an INT-A-PAK package with an electrically isolated base plate, providing excellent thermal and electrical isolation.

This module supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1200 V and is rated for a surge current up to 5.1 kA, making it ideal for power control in industrial settings. The device handles an average on-state current of 160 A, with a maximum gate trigger current of 270 mA, ensuring reliable switching performance.

The module’s maximum operating temperature of 125°C allows operation in demanding thermal conditions, while compact physical dimensions (94 mm length, 35 mm width, 30 mm height) facilitate installation in tight panel spaces. Its low peak on-state voltage of 1.54 V reduces conduction losses, improving overall efficiency.

Applications include battery chargers, welders, plating equipment, regulated power supplies, and speed or temperature control circuits in manufacturing and industrial automation. The INT-A-PAK standard package supports easy panel mounting and secure mechanical stability.
