MCC132-18IO1

Overview

The IXYS MCC132-18IO1 is a silicon SCR module rated for 1800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 132 A RMS on-state current. It utilizes the Y4-M6 screw-mount package with seven pins. Key electrical parameters include a maximum gate trigger current of 150 mA, a maximum holding current of 200 mA, and a forward voltage drop of 1.08 V. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• High-voltage blocking capability suitable for demanding power conversion environments
• Robust mechanical design with screw-mount installation for secure thermal management
• Standardized gate drive requirements compatible with common control circuits

Applications

• Industrial motor drives requiring high-voltage thyristor switching
• DC power supply rectification stages
• Static switch applications in heavy machinery

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and revision level against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure compatibility with existing thermal interface materials and mounting hardware. Confirm that the 1800V rating aligns with the system's transient voltage requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 1800V rating is required alongside a 132A continuous current capacity. Ensure the application can accommodate the Y4-M6 package dimensions and that the gate drive circuit provides sufficient current to exceed the 150mA trigger threshold reliably under all operating temperatures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS MCC series of phase-leg thyristor modules. It shares the Y4-M6 form factor with other variants in the family, such as the MCC132-12IO1 and MCC132-14IO1B, differing primarily in its voltage rating and associated forward voltage characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 1800V rating, 132A current, and Y4-M6 package. Verify pinout compatibility with existing PCB or busbar layouts. Cross-reference with equivalent models from other manufacturers offering identical thermal and electrical specifications.
