Procurement Notes

Verify availability status carefully as this component is listed as obsolete with an End-of-Life date of March 2017. Confirm that the D1 package footprint matches your existing thermal management design. Check for valid RoHS compliance documentation from Microchip, the successor entity, before finalizing procurement plans for legacy equipment maintenance.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a combined SCR and diode solution is required for series connection topologies. Ensure the 160 A current rating and 1.2 kV voltage blocking capability meet the circuit's peak demands. Verify that the D1 mechanical dimensions are compatible with the available cooling infrastructure and mounting hardware constraints in the target assembly.
