MMO230-12IO7

Overview

The IXYS MMO230-12IO7 is a thyristor controller module designed for AC mains frequency applications. It features an ECO-PAC 2 package with screw mounting capability and provides isolation voltage of 3000 V~. The device supports an RMS current (IRMS) of 230 A at TC = 85°C, with a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1200 V. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage drop (VT) of 1.5 V at IT = 300 A and TVJ = 25°C, a gate trigger voltage (VGT) of 1.5 V, and a maximum junction temperature (TVJM) of 125°C. Thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) is 0.26 K/W per thyristor.

Feature Summary

• Planar glass passivated chips ensure robust performance in AC circuit control applications.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved efficiency and reduced power loss.
• Integrated isolation voltage of 3000 V~ enhances safety in single and three-phase systems.
• Leads are suitable for PC board soldering, facilitating flexible integration.

Applications

• Switching and control of single and three phase AC circuits
• Light and temperature control systems
• Softstart AC motor controllers
• Solid state switches

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage rating suffix matches the required application, as the MMO230 series includes variants with different VRRM values such as 800V or 1400V. Confirm that the ECO-PAC 2 package dimensions align with the mechanical design constraints. Ensure thermal management solutions account for the specified RthJC values to maintain junction temperatures within the 125°C limit during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this module when high current handling up to 230A RMS is required for AC control tasks. Consider the 1200V blocking capability for standard mains voltages. Evaluate the thermal environment to ensure the case temperature remains within limits for the rated current. The screw mount design simplifies installation compared to through-hole alternatives, offering space savings and improved power cycling reliability.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IXYS MMO230/MLO230 family of AC controller modules. These devices are engineered for mains frequency operations and utilize planar glass passivation technology. The ECO-PAC 2 packaging provides a compact form factor with high power density, suitable for industrial and commercial power electronics where reliable switching and thermal performance are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MMO230-08IO7 (800V), MMO230-14IO7 (1400V), MMO230-16IO7 (1600V), and MMO230-18IO7 (1800V). Verify that the replacement part's voltage rating meets or exceeds the circuit requirements while maintaining identical current and package specifications.
