CLA60MT1200NHR

Triacs Overview

The CLA60MT1200NHB is a high-power bidirectional thyristor manufactured by IXYS, designed for robust AC power control applications. It features a TO-247 through-hole package with three pins and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1200V. The device handles a rated average on-state current (Irms) of 30A and can withstand surge currents up to 410A. Key electrical parameters include a maximum gate trigger current (Igt) of 80mA, a maximum gate trigger voltage (Vgt) of 1.9V, and a holding current (Ih) of 60mA. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, with a peak on-state voltage of 1.61V and a peak gate power dissipation of 10W.

Triacs Feature Summary

• High surge current capability for handling transient loads
• Low gate trigger requirements for efficient drive circuits
• Robust thermal performance in standard through-hole packaging

Triacs Applications

• Industrial motor speed control systems
• High-power heating element regulation
• Lighting dimmer circuits for commercial installations

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official datasheets, as variations like NHB may indicate specific binning or compliance standards. Confirm RoHS certification status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors. Ensure ordering quantities align with distributor minimums and lead times. Cross-reference part numbers to avoid confusion with similar models in the CLA series.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when high current capacity and voltage blocking are required in a single-phase AC configuration. The TO-247 package facilitates effective heat sinking for continuous operation. Evaluate gate drive capabilities to ensure they meet the 80mA trigger requirement. Consider thermal management strategies given the 125°C maximum operating temperature limit.

Triacs Part Context

This device belongs to IXYS's CLA series of high-efficiency thyristors, optimized for phase-leg applications. The series is known for reliable performance in industrial power electronics. The TO-247 form factor provides a balance between current handling and ease of integration into standard PCB or chassis-mounted designs.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the CLA series that match the 30A/1200V rating. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before swapping. Ensure any replacement maintains the same gate trigger characteristics to avoid drive circuit modifications.
