Procurement Notes

This component is officially classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. Availability is limited to existing stock or surplus channels. Verify authenticity through authorized distributors. Check for valid date codes and physical condition. Confirm compatibility with replacement modules before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this module for applications requiring integrated SCR and diode functionality in a compact form factor. Ensure system voltage does not exceed 800 V. Verify thermal management requirements for 60 A operation. Consider obsolete status when planning long-term production cycles.

Part Context

Part of the MSFC series from Microsemi, designed for high-power thyristor applications. The series includes variants like MSFC130-08 and MSFC160-08. These modules are used in industrial settings where reliable power switching is critical. The specific model provides a balanced solution for moderate current requirements.

Replacement Considerations

MSFC130-08 offers higher current capacity. MSFC160-08 provides increased current handling. Both are part of the same series but differ in ampere ratings. Verify pinout and thermal characteristics before substitution.
