Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision code and packaging type upon ordering to ensure compatibility with existing assembly lines. Confirm that the supplier provides original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity. Check for any regional compliance requirements relevant to your deployment location before finalizing procurement contracts.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-phase SCR module with 1600 V blocking capability and approximately 216 A continuous current handling is required. Ensure the cooling solution matches the thermal dissipation needs at the expected operating ambient temperature. Verify that the gate drive circuit can supply the necessary trigger current without exceeding maximum ratings.

Part Context

This module belongs to the MCD series of discrete semiconductor components produced by IXYS. The series is engineered for general-purpose power switching applications where reliability under high stress conditions is critical. It serves as a core switching element in medium-power electronic converters and controllers used across various industrial sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct cross-replacement requires matching the 1600 V voltage rating, 216 A current capacity, and five-pin Y4-M6 package dimensions. Evaluate thermal resistance characteristics and gate trigger specifications to ensure functional equivalence. Consult official substitution lists from the manufacturer for validated alternatives.
