The SEMIKRON SKM200GAL173D is a 1700V, 200A IGBT module engineered for high-power industrial switching and conversion applications. Featuring SEMIKRON's established low-loss IGBT chip technology paired with a fast-recovery anti-parallel freewheeling diode, this module delivers efficient, thermally stable performance at elevated blocking voltages. Its robust baseplate construction and industry-standard footprint make it a reliable drop-in solution for both original equipment builds and field replacement in legacy and active drive systems requiring 1700V-class devices.

The SKM200GAL173D is widely deployed in medium-voltage variable frequency drives (VFDs), regenerative braking systems, industrial UPS platforms, traction inverters, induction heating equipment, and high-power DC-DC converters. Its 1700V voltage class makes it particularly suited to 690VAC bus architectures where 1200V devices lack sufficient margin. Engineering teams in steel, mining, oil and gas, marine propulsion, and renewable energy industries regularly specify this module where switching reliability and thermal endurance are non-negotiable requirements.

Key Features of the SKM200GAL173D:

• 1700V collector-emitter breakdown voltage (VCES) providing ample margin on 690VAC bus systems
• 200A continuous DC collector current rating suitable for high-power inverter and converter topologies
• Integrated fast-recovery freewheeling diode optimized for low reverse recovery losses in hard-switching circuits
• Low VCEsat IGBT cell technology minimizing conduction losses and reducing heatsink thermal requirements
• Industry-standard SKM baseplate module package with isolated copper baseplate for direct heatsink mounting
• Gate drive compatibility with standard SEMIKRON SKHI and third-party isolated gate driver ICs

With a factory lead time of 32 weeks for new production, the SKM200GAL173D presents a real procurement challenge for maintenance teams facing unplanned drive failures or project schedules that cannot absorb multi-month delays. SEMIKRON's 1700V module portfolio has historically carried extended lead times due to specialized wafer processing requirements. ATI Accurate Technology actively manages inventory pipelines and supplier relationships specifically to bridge these gaps — whether you need a single replacement module urgently or are building safety stock ahead of a scheduled outage, early engagement with ATI can protect your timeline and budget.

ATI Accurate Technology is headquartered in Palmetto, Florida and specializes in IGBT modules, thyristors, diodes, and rectifier assemblies — including long-lead-time and hard-to-find parts like the SKM200GAL173D.
