MD36C12D1-BP

Overview

The MD36C12D1-BP is a standard recovery power diode module manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a single pair of diodes in a series connection configuration, designed for high-power applications requiring robust thermal management and electrical isolation. The device is housed in a D1 chassis mount package, facilitating direct mounting to heatsinks for efficient heat dissipation. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1200 V and an average forward rectified current rating of 36 A. The operating junction temperature range extends from -40°C to +150°C, ensuring reliability under varying thermal conditions.

Feature Summary

• Chassis mount design for direct heatsink attachment
• Standard recovery characteristics for general power conversion
• High thermal stability across wide temperature ranges

Applications

• Industrial motor drives
• Power supply rectification
• Inverter circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BP against official MCC documentation to confirm packaging and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the D1 package dimensions match the mechanical constraints of the target chassis mount application. Cross-reference the 1200V and 36A ratings with system requirements to prevent over-stress during transient events.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a rugged, chassis-mountable solution is required for high-current rectification at 1200V blocking voltage. The standard recovery speed suits non-switching or low-frequency applications where fast recovery is not critical. Evaluate thermal resistance capabilities relative to the expected ambient temperature and heatsink performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MD36 series of standard recovery power modules from MCC. The series offers various voltage and current combinations within the same D1 chassis package family, allowing for modular design consistency across different power levels while maintaining identical mechanical footprints.

Replacement Considerations

Consult MCC datasheets for direct equivalents within the MD36 series with matching voltage and current ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal interface requirements before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
