August 2016 – Introduction to Semikron’s SEMIPACK Thyristors

Published on: 26/08/2016

SEMIPACK thyristors were the first insulated module on the market and today it is still a state-of-the-art component 40 years later

Semikron boasts a comprehensive range of packages and configurations to suit applications such as drives, power supplies or power quality.

SEMIPACK Thyristors: Benefits

The SEMIPACK is a well established module which conforms to industrial standard on footprint and module outline guidelines. With a comprehensive product range, the optimal solution can be found for any application. Using SemiSel, a free online calculation and stimulation tool for losses and temperature, the power electronic system developer is able to make the perfect power module.

Applications

The target applications for the thyristor, thyristor/diode or diode modules include rectifiers (single-phase, three-phase, controlled, half-controlled or controlled) for inverters or UPS systems, soft start applications and control systems.  

Product Range

The SEMIPACK range offers seven comprehensive module lines: with voltages from 800V to 2200V, insulation voltages of 3.6Kv, 4.8Kv@1s and a current range from 15A to 1200A. Uncontrolled, half-controlled and controlled rectifier modules are available as well as single thyristor or diode modules. Also, fast diodes come in SEMIPACK modules. Further more, different contact technologies – soldered contact, bonded contact or pressure contact modules are available.
