MCD95-16IO1

Overview

The IXYS MCD95-16IO1 is a single Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) module housed in a TO-240AA package with seven pins. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage of 1600 V and an RMS on-state current of 182 A. The device supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 2.25 kA. Gate triggering parameters include a maximum gate trigger voltage of 2.5 V and a maximum gate trigger current of 150 mA. The maximum holding current is 200 mA. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +100°C, with screw mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Single SCR configuration within a robust TO-240AA semiconductor module
• High thermal stability supporting operation up to 100°C
• Standardized gate control characteristics for reliable triggering

Applications

• Industrial motor drive systems
• Power supply rectification circuits
• General industrial control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets, as variations like MCC95-16IO1B may indicate different electrical ratings or packaging. Confirm pinout compatibility and mounting hole dimensions before integration. Ensure the supplier provides original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity and technical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single high-current SCR is required in a compact TO-240AA form factor. Compare RMS current and voltage ratings against circuit demands. Verify that the 150 mA gate trigger current aligns with available driver capabilities. Consider thermal management requirements given the 182 A continuous current rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS discrete thyristor module family, designed for medium-power industrial applications. It shares the TO-240AA mechanical footprint with other modules in the series, facilitating standardized heatsink designs. The product line focuses on providing reliable silicon-controlled rectification solutions for demanding power electronics environments.

Replacement Considerations

MCC95-16IO1B is listed as a related variant. Cross-reference electrical parameters carefully, as suffixes often denote differences in current ratings or packaging. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
