Powerex Announces the Addition of LS4 Single SCR and Diode Modules

Powerex Inc. (Youngwood, PA) is pleased to announce the addition of the new LS4 Single SCR and Diode modules to their line of POW-R-BLOK devices. Tested and recognized by Underwriters Laboratories, the new devices are designed for use in applications requiring isolated packaging for rectification or phase control. The isolated package allows for easy mounting with other components on a common heatsink. The LS41 (single-diode module) is rated at 800V to 2400V/600A, and the LS43 (single SCR) is rated at 800V to 2200V/500A.

Requiring less than half the area of the similar LD4 POW-R-BLOK, Powerex claims that these new devices are able to meet high-current, single configurations and allow for high durability and reliability, while providing a cost-effective solution in an industry-standard package. Pricing for the LS4 product runs $130 each, with sample quantities available.
