MCC310-16IO1

Overview

The IXYS MCC310-16IO1 is a thyristor module rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1600 V and an RMS on-state current of 500 A per device. It features a maximum average on-state current of 320 A at a case temperature of 85°C. The surge current capability reaches 9800 A under standard conditions. Key electrical parameters include a gate trigger current of 150 mA, a holding current of 150 mA, and a peak on-state voltage of 1.32 V. The module supports a maximum junction temperature of 140°C and provides an isolation voltage of 3600 V DC.

Feature Summary

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official IXYS documentation to confirm voltage ratings and pin configurations. Ensure compatibility with mounting hardware specifications, as the module requires precise torque application for the M5 and M8 terminals. Confirm that the supply chain source provides original manufacturer packaging to maintain component integrity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this module based on its 1600 V blocking capability and 500 A RMS current handling. Evaluate thermal requirements using the provided transient thermal impedance curves. Ensure the gate drive circuit can supply the specified 150 mA trigger current. Consider the physical dimensions and mounting style when designing the enclosure and heatsink interface for optimal performance.

Part Context

The MCC310 series represents a family of high-power thyristor modules designed for industrial applications. This specific model belongs to the MCC line, which utilizes a standardized international package. It shares structural similarities with other variants in the series, differing primarily in voltage ratings and specific current characteristics defined by the suffix codes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 1600 V rating and 500 A RMS current capacity. Verify pinout compatibility, particularly the keyed gate/cathode configuration. Alternative modules from other manufacturers should be evaluated based on thermal resistance values and mechanical mounting dimensions to ensure seamless integration into existing designs.
