Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the correct SKKT module for your application:
| Parameter | SKKT106/14E | SKKT106/16E ✓ | SKKT106/18E | SKKT132/16E |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IT(AV) | 106 A | 106 A | 106 A | 132 A |
| VDRM/VRRM | 1400 V | 1600 V | 1800 V | 1600 V |
| Recommended Use | 380 V AC systems | 380–480 V AC ✓ | High-line 480 V+ | Uprated current |
| Package | SEMIPACK® 1 | SEMIPACK® 1 | SEMIPACK® 1 | SEMIPACK® 1 |
Rule of thumb: Select VDRM ≥ 2× peak line voltage. For 380 V AC (537 V peak), SKKT106/16E (1600 V) provides a safe 3× derating margin.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace SKKT106/16E with SKKT132/16E?
A: Yes — the SKKT132/16E is an uprated replacement with higher current capacity (132 A vs 106 A) in the same SEMIPACK® 1 package. It is a safe drop-in upgrade.
Q: Is the Vishay VS-VSKT106-16PBF a direct replacement?
A: Yes — it shares the same footprint, voltage class, and current rating. Verify gate trigger current compatibility with your firing board.
Q: What is the difference between SKKT106/16E and SKKT106/16?
A: The “E” suffix denotes an enhanced or export-grade variant with tighter parameter screening. Functionally interchangeable in most applications.
