CDD11610

Diode Arrays Overview

The Powerex CDD11610 is a dual diode POW-R-BLOK module rated for 1600 Volts peak reverse blocking voltage and 100 Amperes average on-state current. It features an isolated metal baseplate design with glass passivated chips, ensuring low thermal impedance for efficient heat dissipation. The component supports RMS currents up to 155 Amperes and withstands surge currents of 2000 Amperes at 60Hz. Electrical isolation between terminals and the baseplate is rated at 2500 Volts RMS. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 125°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Isolated mounting configuration allows secure attachment to common heatsinks without electrical shorting.
• Glass passivated silicon chips provide robust junction protection against environmental stress.
• Metal baseplate construction facilitates direct thermal transfer to cooling systems.

Diode Arrays Applications

• Battery supply circuits
• AC motor power supplies
• DC motor power supplies

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage rating required for your application before procurement, as the CDD11210 variant offers 1200 Volts instead of the 1600 Volts found in the CDD11610. Confirm that the mounting hardware matches the specified M5 terminal screw torque requirements. Ensure the cooling system can handle the thermal resistance characteristics defined in the datasheet to maintain safe operating temperatures under maximum load conditions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this module when high-voltage rectification is needed in an electrically isolated environment. The 1600 Volt rating provides a safety margin for transient spikes in industrial power systems. Consider the physical dimensions and flange mount style for compatibility with existing chassis designs. Evaluate the thermal management strategy carefully, as the performance relies heavily on the case-to-sink thermal interface quality.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the POW-R-BLOK family of power switching semiconductors manufactured by Powerex Inc. These modules are designed for rugged industrial applications requiring reliable AC to DC conversion. The series is recognized by Underwriters Laboratories, indicating compliance with specific safety standards for power switching devices used in demanding electrical environments.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The CDD11210 serves as a lower voltage alternative within the same package and feature set, offering 1200 Volts instead of 1600 Volts while maintaining identical current ratings and physical dimensions.
