The SEMIKRON SKN26/08 is a single thyristor (SCR) module rated for 26A average on-state current and an 800V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM). Housed in SEMIKRON's well-established screw-terminal module package, the SKN26/08 is engineered for controlled rectification and AC power regulation duties where robust gate triggering, low on-state losses, and reliable thermal performance are essential. Its isolation base simplifies heatsink mounting while maintaining dielectric integrity in demanding industrial environments.

The SKN26/08 sees wide deployment across industrial AC drives, soft-start motor controllers, resistance welding equipment, heating and temperature regulation systems, and UPS input stage controls. Its 800V voltage class makes it well suited for direct connection to 3-phase 400/480VAC supply networks with adequate margin for line transients. Power conversion engineers also specify this device in battery formation chargers, electrochemical process rectifiers, and crane or hoist drive systems where phase-angle control of large resistive or inductive loads is required.

Quick Reference: SKN26/08

Key Features of the SKN26/08:

• 26A average on-state current (IT(AV)) with high surge current capability for robust overcurrent tolerance during transient events
• 800V VDRM/VRRM voltage rating providing solid design margin on 400/480VAC three-phase industrial power networks
• Screw-terminal module construction with isolated copper base plate for straightforward heatsink integration and reliable thermal management
• Low on-state voltage drop (VT) minimizing conduction losses and reducing thermal load at rated current
• Gate trigger characteristics optimized for compatibility with standard SCR firing boards and phase-control gate driver ICs
• Compact SKN footprint enabling drop-in replacement or direct upgrade within existing SEMIKRON-based power assemblies

With a current factory lead time of 99 weeks for new production, the SKN26/08 presents a serious procurement challenge for OEM manufacturers, MRO operations, and field service teams alike. Extended SEMIKRON lead times are common across the SKN thyristor series, making distributor stock the only practical option for unplanned outages or time-sensitive production schedules. ATI Accurate Technology maintains ready inventory of hard-to-find and long-lead-time SEMIKRON thyristor modules, including the SKN26/08, specifically to bridge this supply gap for customers who cannot afford weeks of downtime waiting on factory allocation.

ATI Accurate Technology is located in Palmetto, Florida and stocks power semiconductors including SEMIKRON thyristor modules for same-day shipping on orders placed before 5PM EST.
