100MT160PA

Overview

The Vishay 100MT160PA is a three-phase rectifier bridge module rated for 1600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 100 A maximum DC output current at a case temperature of 80 °C. It features a low forward voltage drop with a threshold voltage of 0.75 V and slope resistance of 8.1 mΩ. The device supports a maximum non-repetitive surge current of 450 A at 50 Hz and operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to 150 °C. It provides 3500 VRMS insulation voltage and utilizes a direct-mount package with flat-pin terminals.

Feature Summary

• Low profile package designed for space-saving electrical layouts
• Direct mounting capability to heatsink with recommended thermal compound
• Flat-pin terminal configuration compatible with PCB soldering

Applications

• Power conversion machines
• Welding equipment
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
• Motor drives

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin configuration required for the application, as the MT...PA variant uses flat pins while the MT...PB variant uses round pins. Confirm that the thermal interface material meets the specified conductivity requirements and that mounting torque adheres to the 4 Nm specification to ensure proper heat transfer and mechanical stability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current three-phase rectification solution is needed with a 1600 V blocking capability. Ensure the heatsink design maintains the case temperature at or below 80 °C to achieve the rated 100 A continuous current. Consider the 0.19 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance for thermal management calculations in heavy-duty applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MTP 3-Phase Rectifier Series, which includes variants with different current ratings such as the 40MT and 70MT models. All series members share similar packaging technologies and are designed for industrial-level power conversion applications requiring reliable three-phase rectification.

Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for other 100 A three-phase modules from Vishay or competitors to verify matching voltage ratings, thermal resistance values, and physical dimensions before substitution.
