SKKH 162/16 Semikron Danfoss Thyristor Diode Module

Description

The SKKH 162/16 Semikron Danfoss Thyristor Diode Module is a power semiconductor component designed for compatible industrial power-control and rectifier circuits. Superway SKKH 162/16 identifies this specific module, which combines thyristor and diode technology in a SEMIPACK 2 package.

The SKKH 162/16 E module uses a thyristor and diode configuration for controlled power conversion in compatible electronic systems. A thyristor is a semiconductor switching device controlled through a suitable gate-triggering circuit, while a diode allows current to flow in the forward direction under appropriate conditions. Superway identifies this product by its model number and semiconductor type.

According to the manufacturer’s specifications, the SKKH 162/16 E has a rated current of 156 A and a repetitive peak blocking voltage of 1600 V. Its specified surge current rating is 5000 A under defined test conditions. These ratings depend on the operating conditions stated in the technical documentation. Superway SKKH 162/16 retains the complete model designation to distinguish it from other semiconductor modules.

The module belongs to the Semikron Danfoss SEMIPACK 2 product family. Its dimensions are approximately 94 × 34 × 30 mm. The construction includes an aluminium oxide ceramic insulated metal baseplate, which supports electrical isolation and heat transfer. The manufacturer also specifies hard-soldered joints as a construction feature. Superway identifies these characteristics as part of the SKKH 162/16 module design.

The SKKH 162/16 E is designed for applications including DC motor control, temperature-control systems, and professional lighting control. In compatible equipment, its thyristor and diode configuration supports rectification and power regulation according to the circuit design. Superway SKKH 162/16 is intended for applications that require this particular semiconductor arrangement.

In DC motor-control equipment, thyristor-diode modules can form part of a power circuit used to regulate electrical energy supplied to the motor. Temperature-control equipment may use thyristor-based circuits to regulate power supplied to heating systems. Professional lighting-control equipment can also use semiconductor power regulation. Superway identifies the SKKH 162/16 as a component for compatible systems rather than a universal replacement for other modules.

The SEMIPACK 2 housing provides the physical structure for installation in compatible power-electronic assemblies. Its insulated baseplate supports heat transfer while maintaining the electrical isolation specified by the manufacturer. Mounting and thermal management are important to the module’s operating performance. Superway SKKH 162/16 is designed for equipment that follows the required installation and cooling conditions.

The module’s voltage, current, and surge ratings describe specific operating conditions and should not be treated as unrestricted values for every circuit. The actual operating limits depend on temperature, cooling, load characteristics, and other conditions defined in the manufacturer’s documentation. Superway recommends identifying the exact model when describing this component to avoid confusing it with modules that have different electrical characteristics.

The SKKH 162/16 Semikron Danfoss Thyristor Diode Module is a specific semiconductor component for compatible industrial power-electronic systems. Its 156 A current rating, 1600 V repetitive peak blocking voltage, 5000 A specified surge current, and SEMIPACK 2 package help identify the model. Superway SKKH 162/16 describes this component according to its manufacturer-listed characteristics and intended applications.

Superway SKKH 162/16 Semikron Danfoss Thyristor Diode Module combines thyristor and diode technology in an insulated-baseplate package. Its intended operation depends on the circuit design and the manufacturer’s specified electrical and thermal conditions. The exact model designation helps distinguish this module from other semiconductor products in the same family.
