MD70K16D1-BP

Overview

The MD70K16D1-BP is a silicon standard recovery power diode module manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a dual-common cathode configuration housed in the D1 screw-mount package. The device supports a peak reverse voltage of 1.6 kV and an average forward current of 70 A per diode. It exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at rated conditions. The module operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-common cathode architecture for efficient bridge rectification
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose applications
• Robust screw-mount construction for secure chassis installation

Applications

• Industrial motor drives
• Power supply units
• Inverter circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before procurement, as manufacturing changes may occur. Confirm that the D1 package dimensions match the mechanical design constraints. Ensure thermal interface materials are compatible with the module's mounting surface requirements for optimal heat dissipation performance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-common cathode topology is required for high-voltage applications. The 1.6 kV rating provides sufficient margin for industrial line voltages. Consider the 70 A current capacity against the expected load profile and thermal management capabilities of the final assembly environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MD series of standard recovery rectifier modules from MCC. It shares the D1 package form factor with other variants in the lineup, such as the MD100K16D1-BP and MD120K16D1-BP, which offer higher current ratings while maintaining similar electrical characteristics and mounting styles.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with MD100K16D1-BP or MD120K16D1-BP if higher current capacity is acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting with equivalent parts from other manufacturers.
