IXYS Dual Thyristor Module 1600 V, 1.6 kA, 64 A, Panel Mount, TO-240AA, 7-Pin MCC56-16IO1B

The IXYS MCC56-16IO1B Dual Thyristor Module is engineered for robust power switching and control applications where performance and reliability are paramount. Featuring a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1600 V, this device is well-suited for high-voltage environments in industrial, manufacturing, and power distribution systems.

Its rated average on-state current of 64 A allows for effective management of substantial loads, while the surge current rating of 1.6 kA enables the module to withstand demanding transient conditions. The module's encapsulated TO-240AA package and electrically isolated base plate provide enhanced safety and reliable operation under adverse conditions.

The MCC56-16IO1B is designed for panel mounting, making installation and maintenance straightforward. Its 7-pin configuration offers versatility for engineers integrating it into systems such as battery chargers, welding machines, plating equipment, and regulated power supplies.

Optimized triggering is facilitated by a maximum gate trigger current of 100 mA and a holding current of 200 mA, delivering precise control and stable operation. With a peak on-state voltage of 1.57 V and a gate trigger voltage of 1.5 V, the module achieves efficient switching with low losses.

Dimensions of 92 mm length, 20.8 mm width, and 30 mm height make the module compact for space-constrained installations, while its operating temperature up to 125°C ensures suitability for environments with substantial thermal stresses.

The MCC series dual thyristors by IXYS are widely recognized for their performance in applications like battery chargers, welding and plating equipment, regulated power supplies, and temperature/speed control circuits. The device’s electrical isolation and encapsulated construction further reduce risk and simplify system design.

Applicable use cases include industrial automation, manufacturing controls, commercial power management, laboratory electrical setups, and HVAC systems requiring high-reliability silicon-controlled rectification.
