Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the VUO98-16NO7 to confirm current RoHS compliance status and REACH SVHC declarations before integration. Ensure that the procurement source provides original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity. Cross-reference the ECO-PAC 2 package dimensions against your mechanical enclosure constraints to guarantee proper fitment during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a three-phase rectification solution is required with a 1600 V blocking capability and approximately 100 A continuous current handling. The ECO-PAC 2 package is appropriate for designs prioritizing compact form factors compared to larger PWS series modules. Evaluate the thermal management requirements based on the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance to ensure reliable operation within the 150 °C junction temperature limit under expected load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS VUO series of three-phase rectifier bridges, which are engineered for general-purpose power conversion tasks. The VUO98-16NO7 specifically represents a mid-range current capacity option within the family, balancing performance with the physical constraints of the ECO-PAC 2 housing. It serves as a key component in converting AC input to DC output for various industrial power electronics architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other IXYS three-phase bridges in the ECO-PAC 2 package with similar voltage and current ratings, such as the VUO98-16NO3 if fast recovery characteristics are acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance specifications when substituting with components from other manufacturers like Semikron or Mitsubishi to ensure equivalent system performance.
