- Designed and qualified for industrial level - Material categorization: for definitions of compliance please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912 ## **PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS** |IT(AV)|170 A, 250 A| |---|---| |Type|Modules - thyristor, standard| |Package|MAGN-A-PAK| ## **DESCRIPTION** This VSK series of MAGN-A-PAK modules uses high voltage power thyristor/thyristor and thyristor/diode in seven basic configurations. The semiconductors are electrically isolated from the metal base, allowing common heatsinks and compact assemblies to be built. They can be interconnected to form single phase or three phase bridges or as AC-switches when modules are connected in anti-parallel mode. These modules are intended for general purpose applications such as battery chargers, welders, motor drives, UPS, etc. ## **MAJOR RATINGS AND CHARACTERISTICS** |**MAJOR RATINGS AND CHARACTERISTICS**|**MAJOR RATINGS AND CHARACTERISTICS**|**MAJOR RATINGS AND CHARACTERISTICS**|**MAJOR RATINGS AND CHARACTERISTICS**|**MAJOR RATINGS AND CHARACTERISTICS**| |---|---|---|---|---| |**SYMBOL**|**CHARACTERISTICS**|**VSK.170..**|**VSK.250..**|**UNITS**| |IT(AV)|85 °C|170|250|A| |IT(RMS)||377|555|| |ITSM|50 Hz|5100|8500|| ||60 Hz|5350|8900|| |I2t|50 Hz|131|361|kA2s| ||60 Hz|119|330|| |I2t||1310|3610|kA2s| |VDRM/VRRM||400 to 1600|400 to 2000|V| |TJ|Range|-40 to +130||°C| Revision: 12-Nov-2018 Document Number: 94417 **1** For technical questions within your region: DiodesAmericas@vishay.com, DiodesAsia@vishay.com, DiodesEurope@vishay.com THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
