What is a Si Thyristor/Diode Module?

Si thyristor/diode modules are compact power modules that combine the functionality of a thyristor, also known as a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR), and a diode in a single housing. 

The thyristor enables controlled rectification of AC (it conducts only after a gate trigger), while the diode can act as a freewheeling diode or as part of a rectifier circuit. 

This combination reduces component count, simplifies circuit design, and saves valuable space. The SCR portion allows precise phase-angle control for power regulation.

Advantages of TECHSEM Modules from alfatec
Integrated functionality: One module replaces two discrete components (thyristor + diode), simplifying design, assembly, and inventory.
Space and cost savings: Fewer components mean reduced PCB or cabinet space and potentially lower system costs.
High reliability: TECHSEM is known for strict quality control and long-lasting power modules.
Wide power range: The available voltage and current ratings cover many standard applications.
Optimized switching: The SCR enables precise control tasks.
Rugged construction: Designed for industrial environments.
alfatec support: We provide technical consultation and assistance in selecting the right diode or thyristor module.
Typical Applications
Controlled rectifiers: For industrial power supplies and battery chargers requiring regulated output
Soft starters: Reduce inrush current in AC motors to minimize mechanical stress and grid disturbances
AC power controllers: For heating, lighting (dimmers), or universal motor speed control via phase-angle control
Welding equipment: For current control in various welding processes
UPS systems: In rectifier circuits and static bypass switches
Industrial furnaces: For power control in heating systems

Key Technical Parameters and Materials

Selecting the right module depends on your application’s specific requirements. Key factors include: 

  • High blocking voltage (VRRM/VDRM): TECHSEM modules offer blocking voltages from 1200 V to 2500 V, making them safe and robust for grid-connected applications. 
  • High average forward current (ITAV/IFAV): With ratings from 26 A to 570 A, these modules cover a wide power range—from small controllers to high-power drives. 
  • Thermal performance: Efficient heat dissipation is critical. TECHSEM modules are designed with optimized thermal management—often using insulated baseplates (e.g., aluminum oxide ceramic) for easy mounting on heatsinks. 
  • Materials: Core components are made from high-purity silicon. The housings are rugged and industrial-grade to protect against environmental influences. 

Related components such as rectifier diodes or full bridge rectifiers are also available in our portfolio to complete your circuit.
