SKKT56-12E Semikron - Thyristor / Diode Module
Also written as: SKKT56/12E, SKKT5612E
SKKT56-12E Description
SKKT56-12E is a 1200 V, 55 A thyristor module made by Semikron. Common uses are AC switches, soft starters, DC drives and controlled rectifiers in industrial power equipment. 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 SKKT56-12E, send us a request for quote. Please confirm the specifications against the manufacturer's datasheet before purchase.
Summary of Features
- Heat transfer through aluminium oxide ceramic isolated metal baseplate
- Hard soldered joints for high reliability
- UL recognized, file no. E63532
Target Applications
Semikron SKKT56-12E is used for DC motor control (e.g. for machine tools), AC motor soft starters, temperature control (e.g. for ovens, chemical processes) and professional light dimming (studios, theaters).
