IRKH56-16 International Rectifier - Thyristor / Diode Module

IRKH56-16 Description

Rated at 1600 V and 56 A, the International Rectifier IRKH56-16 is a thyristor module. You'll find thyristors like this in soft starters, static switches, DC motor controllers and heater controls. Many of these parts are still in service in machines built years ago, and a direct replacement is often the fastest way to get one running again.

USComponent has sourced power semiconductors for maintenance teams and OEMs since 2001. For price and availability of the IRKH56-16, send us a request for quote. Please confirm the specifications against the manufacturer's datasheet before purchase.
