Compatibility and replacement
Order with the complete Semikron type SKKT 42/16 E; in Semikron type codes the digits and letters set the current, voltage class, topology and chip generation, so a module with a similar number may not be a direct replacement.
If the marking of the old module is burnt or unreadable, send us a photo and the drive model and we will confirm the correct Semikron type before quoting.
Before you replace it
- Repetitive voltage class (/12 = 1200 V, /16 = 1600 V)
- Module type (SKKT thyristor/thyristor, SKKH thyristor/diode)
- Gate wiring and firing board
Frequently asked questions
Which housing does it use?
SEMIPACK 1, with dimensions of 93x20x30 mm, according to the Semikron Danfoss product data.
What is the current and voltage rating?
40 A at a voltage class of 1600 V, according to the Semikron Danfoss product data.
Is the baseplate isolated?
Yes. The module is built with an isolated baseplate, so it can be mounted directly on a heatsink that carries other components; always use thermal paste and the specified mounting torque.
What is the topology?
Rectifier (Thyristor / Diode), according to the Semikron Danfoss product data.
What surge current can it handle?
850 A, according to the Semikron Danfoss product data.
Is it new and original?
Yes. We supply new, original parts in the manufacturer packaging, with a 1-year warranty.
