The VSK.L240 series is a fast recovery power diode with fast recovery time characteristics, electrically isolated base plate, industrial standard package, simplified mechanical designs, rapid assembly, high surge capability, large creepage distances, 3000 VRMS isolating voltage, etc. It is suitable for applications such as power supplies, battery chargers, welders, motor controls, and general industrial current rectification.
The VSK.L240 Series MAGN‑APA‑KTM power modules use fast‑recovery diodes in four basic configurations. The semiconductors are electrically isolated from the metal base, allowing common heatsinks and compact assemblies. Typical applications include power supplies, battery chargers, welders, motor controls and general industrial current‑rectification where fast recovery is required.
Key specifications include a maximum average forward current of 250 A, a repetitive peak reverse voltage up to 2500 V, low thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.125 K/W), operating temperature range from –40 °C to 150 °C, and a weight of about 850 g. The datasheet provides detailed electrical, recovery, thermal and mechanical data, as well as circuit configuration options and ordering information.
