MCC225-16IO1 Discrete Semiconductor Products

The MCC225-16IO1 is a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) module from Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and is suitable for controlling three-phase circuits with high power. The module is designed for fast switching and high breakdown voltage, making it an ideal choice for switching applications. It features four SCRs in three-phase unidirectional applications or two SCRs in dual-built applications.

The MCC225-16IO1 SCR module has a maximum peak off-state voltage of 400V, a maximum peak on-state current of 225A, and a maximum pulse on-state current of 300A. It is capable of handling high voltage and high currents of up to 400V, 4kA and 6kA respectively. It also provides excellent protection against transient surges. The maximum junction temperature is rated at 175°C, making it suitable for applications in harsh environments.

The MCC225-16IO1 has a graded gate trigger current of 16mA, an operating temperature range of -40°C to +175°C, and a gate cathode insulation resistance of 1000MΩ. It can be used in a wide range of applications such as winding motor processes and industrial control systems. Additionally, the module is RoHS compliant and is UL recognized for industrial and domestic use.

The working principle of this MCC225-16IO1 SCR module is simple. When the gate voltage of the SCR reaches the gate trigger current, it becomes forward biased and conducts electricity. The SCR then turns on and continues to conduct until the current drops below a certain threshold. When the current drops below the threshold, the SCR turns off and stops conducting electricity.

The MCC225-16IO1 SCR module finds application in a wide range of applications such as AC motor controls, AC line monitoring, lighting controls, UPS input/output current protection, contactors, power switching and rectifier circuits. It also finds use in automotive, aviation and medical applications. The maximum power ratings of this module depend upon the application, current and voltage ratings.
