Vishay Thyristor Module 1200 V 1.2 kA, Rated Current 60 A, Gate Trigger Current 270 mA, Peak On-State Voltage VS-VSKH56/12

The Vishay VS-VSKH56/12 Thyristor Module is a robust and reliable semiconductor device engineered for industrial power control applications. It is rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1200 V and can withstand surge currents up to 1.2 kA, making it ideal for demanding electrical switching and regulation tasks.

Enclosed in a durable TO-240AA 5-pin package, this module offers ease of installation with its panel mount design. The module operates efficiently with a peak on-state voltage of only 1.7 V, minimizing power losses during conduction. The maximum gate trigger current of 270 mA and trigger voltage of 4 V allow precise control of switching.

Designed for a wide temperature range, the device can sustain operation up to 125°C, ensuring performance stability in harsh industrial environments. Its compact form factor, with dimensions 92 mm length, 30 mm height, and 22.6 mm width, makes it suitable for integration into limited-space assemblies.

The electrically isolated base plate enhances thermal management, improving device longevity and reducing cooling requirements. This makes the VS-VSKH56/12 an excellent choice for battery chargers, welders, plating equipment, regulated power supplies, and temperature or speed control circuits in industrial and manufacturing settings.

This Thyristor Module supports a rated average on-state current of 60 A for reliable heavy-duty switching. It features a low peak on-state voltage of 1.7 V for efficient power handling. The maximum gate trigger current is specified at 270 mA with a gate trigger voltage of 4 V for optimal gate control.

The package type is TO-240AA with 5 pins and panel mount arrangement. Operating temperature ranges up to 125°C to suit industrial environments. The dimensions (Length x Height x Width) are 92 mm x 30 mm x 22.6 mm. Repetitive peak off-state current is limited to 15 mA to reduce leakage.

The device does not carry automotive or other special standards approvals but is designed to Vishay's high-quality semiconductor specifications. The module is encapsulated with an electrically isolated base plate for enhanced thermal and electrical performance.
