Description
The Semikron SKKT 162/16E is a power semiconductor module from the SEMIPACK 2 product family. It contains two thyristors (silicon-controlled rectifiers, or SCRs) for controlled switching in industrial power circuits.
This module is designed for applications that require controlled power conversion and regulation. It is not an IGBT module, so replacements must be selected according to the original circuit topology and electrical specifications.
