ABB 5SHY3545L0014 3BHB013085R0001 Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) Module

Product Description
The ABB 5SHY3545L0014 3BHB013085R0001 is a high-performance Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) module manufactured by ABB, a global leader in power and automation technologies. This specific module is a critical power semiconductor device designed for high-voltage and high-current applications in industrial power electronics.
IGCT technology represents a significant advancement, combining the robust current-carrying capabilities and high blocking voltage of traditional thyristors (GTOs) with the fast switching speeds and simplified gate control found in IGBTs. The integration of the gate driver and often an anti-parallel diode within the module minimizes parasitic inductances and enables “snubberless” operation, leading to higher efficiency and reliability. The “5SHY3545L0014” part of the number indicates its type and general characteristics (e.g., “35” likely refers to the current rating in hundreds of amps or similar notation).
