LD43 Module Terminal Locations
Because the LD43 modules currently do not have numerical characters marked on the cases, it is helpful to
have a copy of the outline drawing and circuit schematic on hand for reference for those that are not familiar
with the terminal locations.

Module Lead Kits
Powerex offers module lead kits that simplify and assist with the proper connections to the corresponding
terminal locations on the modules. The lead kits feature keyed plastic housings which limit the connection to
one particular device in the module thus ensuring the correct orientation for the gate and cathode terminal
connections.
For the Dual SCR LD43 module, Powerex recommends the LEAD KIT #NK. As shown in the diagram below, the
following connections would be made to the LEAD KIT #NK for use with the Dual SCR LD43 module.
