CLA60MT1200NHB

Overview

The CLA60MT1200NHB is a bidirectional thyristor manufactured by IXYS, housed in a TO-247 package for through-hole mounting. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1200 V and an RMS on-state current rating of 30 A. The device supports a surge current of 410 A with a peak on-state voltage of 1.61 V. Gate triggering requirements include a maximum gate trigger current of 80 mA and a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.9 V. The holding current is specified at 60 mA, while the peak gate power dissipation reaches 10 W. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• High-frequency operation capability suitable for demanding AC control applications
• Robust surge current handling rated at 410 A for transient protection
• Low gate trigger current requirement facilitating efficient drive circuit design

Applications

• Industrial motor speed control systems
• High-power lighting dimming circuits
• AC power regulation modules

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official IXYS documentation before integration. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required electrical characteristics and packaging format. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards as indicated in manufacturer specifications. Cross-reference datasheet parameters with system requirements to validate thermal and electrical performance limits under actual operating conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-voltage bidirectional switching is required in a standard through-hole configuration. Evaluate the 30 A continuous current rating against load demands and derating factors. Consider the TO-247 package dimensions for PCB layout and heatsinking compatibility. Verify that the 1200 V blocking voltage exceeds the peak line voltage plus safety margins for the target application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLA series of high-frequency thyristors designed for robust AC power control. The series emphasizes reliability in industrial environments with standardized pinouts for easy replacement. The TO-247 housing provides effective thermal dissipation for high-current operations without requiring complex mounting solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1200 V rating, 30 A current capacity, and TO-247 package. Verify gate trigger characteristics and thermal resistance values to ensure equivalent performance. Consult manufacturer cross-reference lists for approved alternatives with identical electrical specifications.
