Thyristors, commonly known as SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers), are semiconductor devices that come in many types, forms, and sizes. The various applications they are used in are largely determined by the form, voltage, type and current handling capability of the chosen SCR. One type of SCR is the MCD132-16IO1 module.

The MCD132-16IO1 is a ten-pin silicone-controlled rectifier module. It’s design is to enable low voltage, low current control of a medium or high voltage, high current load. This SCR module is a widely used device and is used in a variety of industries and applications, such as motor control, heat control, and lighting. This module can be considered a dual element. It is constructed with two SCRs connected in series, controlling the same load in the same direction.

The main elements of the MCD132-16IO1 module are the two SCRs, one controlling the positive half-cycle and the other controlling the negative half-cycle. In addition, there are two flying leads (AC main line) which go directly to the load, and two control cables (1 line and 1 neutral) which are connected to the control and protection terminal. The third control cable is an AC trigger current input.

The MCD132-16IO1 module works on the principle that the SCR will not actuate (turn on) until the control current reaches a certain level. This level is called the ‘on-state current’. Once the current has reached the on-state current, the SCR will immediately conduct and continue conducting until the current drops below the off-state or holding currents. At this point, the MCD132-16IO1 module is said to be ‘in overcurrent protection’ and will return to its initial state when the load current is reduced.

The MCD132-16IO1 module is ideal for motor control applications. When the control voltage is applied, the load current is used to turn the motor on. As the motor accelerates, the load current increases and the module’s SCRs quickly reduce the load current, protecting the motor from overcurrent damage. The motor will keep running until the current is reduced sufficiently to where the SCR can turn off.

In addition, the MCD132-16IO1 can also be used for applications in which safety is a priority. The dual-element design ensures that a single SCR cannot actuate unless both SCRs are properly triggered. This means that if a problem occurs with one of the SCRs, the second SCR will still be in place to act as a redundant safety measure, protecting against overcurrent damage.

The MCD132-16IO1 module is an ideal device for a variety of applications, providing safety and protection without compromising performance. The module’s dual-element design ensures that if a problem occurs with one of the SCRs, the second will still be available to act as a redundant safety measure. The module is also easy to use and can be used for both motor control and heat control applications.
