HTZ120A32K

Diode Arrays Overview

The HTZ120A32K is a high-voltage diode rectifier module from the HTZ120A series, manufactured by IXYS. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 32,000 V and a maximum forward voltage of 36.8 V at 12 A peak current. The device supports a mean forward current of 2.0 A under air-cooled conditions and up to 4.1 A in oil-cooled environments. Key thermal specifications include a junction-to-ambient resistance of 2.3 °C/W and a virtual junction temperature limit of 180 °C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Designed for extreme high-voltage applications with a 32 kV blocking capability
• Capable of handling significant surge currents up to 200 A
• Optimized for operation across a wide frequency range of 20 to 400 Hz

Diode Arrays Applications

• High voltage DC transmission systems
• Industrial power conversion equipment
• Specialized high-voltage testing apparatus

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized IXYS channels or certified distributors. Confirm datasheet revision status and specific lot traceability requirements before procurement. Ensure storage conditions remain within the specified -40 to 100 °C range to maintain device integrity prior to installation.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this module when system requirements demand high voltage isolation exceeding 30 kV. Evaluate cooling methods carefully; air cooling limits average current to 2.0 A, while oil cooling increases capacity to 4.1 A. Ensure the application frequency falls within the 20–400 Hz operational window for optimal performance.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This component belongs to the HTZ120A series, which encompasses various high-voltage rectifier modules ranging from 32 kV to 51 kV. All variants share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings defined by the suffix code.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 32 kV rating and TO-247-like module footprint. Verify that substitute components support the required 2.0 A continuous current and 180 °C junction temperature limits.
