DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT SUMMARY
I
F(AV)
Type
250 A
Modules - Diode, Fast
The VSK.L240 Series of MAGN-A-PAKs uses fast recovery
power diodes in four basic configurations. The
semiconductors are electrically isolated from the metal
base, allowing common heatsinks and compact assemblies
to be built. Application includes power supplies, battery
chargers, welders, motor controls and general industrial
current rectification. These modules are intended for those
applications where fast recovery characteristics are
required.
