SEMIKRON SKET-400 16E Thyristor Module Semipack 4

SKET 400/16 E is a SEMIPACK 4 thyristor-diode module from Semikron Danfoss, built as a compact, single-pack power module with an amplifying gate for reliable switching. It blocks up to 1600 V and provides a continuous (RMS) current of 392 A with a surge capability of 12,000 A, making it suitable for demanding DC motor control, temperature regulation in industrial processes, and professional lighting dimming. The package measures 101 × 50 × 52 mm, weighs about 0.94 kg (net) and 0.99 kg (gross), and uses an aluminium nitride ceramic insulated baseplate with precious-metal pressure contacts for high reliability, while the thyristor topology is configured in SEMIPACK 4 and UL Recognized (file no. E 63 532). Former part number 07896110; typical applications include DC motor control (e.g., machine tools), temperature control (e.g., ovens, chemical processes), and professional light dimming in studios and theaters.
