Thyristors - SCRs - Modules

The MCD220-12IO1 is a type of semiconductor device known as a module or a bundle of thyristors (also known as a Silicon Controlled Rectifier or SCR). It is used in a variety of applications, including applications for controlling voltage, current, and power. The MCD220-12IO1 provides a cost-effective solution for controlling these parameters in a variety of electrical and electronic systems.

Application Field

The MCD220-12IO1 is mainly used for controlling voltage and current, specifically in applications requiring AC line control. It has the capability of providing fast (<1ms) switching of voltage and current, making it suitable for applications such as motor controller, lighting control, and power supplies. It is also suitable for applications that require fast power source transfer and variable speed control.

In addition to voltage and current control, the MCD220-12IO1 also has applications in rectification and soft switching systems, such as solid state relays, choppers, inverters, and SCR power controllers. It is also suitable for use in static switching applications such as static var compensators and static inverter systems.

Working Principle

The MCD220-12IO1 is an SCR module and operates on the same principle as a thyristor. This means that it consists of two p-type and two n-type semiconductor layers. When a positive voltage is applied between the two main leads A1 and A2, current begins to flow through the device, and it is no longer sensitive to further control signals from the gate. This condition is known as latching, which is the main feature of any thyristor.

When it is in its latched condition, no further control signals from the gate can affect the flow of current through the module. This makes the MCD220-12IO1 ideal for controlling current in applications where the switching must be reliable and fast. The module can be used as a chopper to control current in AC line circuits, and it can also be used in static switching applications such as static var compensators and static inverter systems.

The MCD220-12IO1 also provides protection against over-current, over-voltage, and thermal overload. If the current exceeds the rated value or the voltage exceeds the rated value, the device will shut down in order to protect itself and the equipment it is controlling. The device can also be used in closed loop systems for voltage and current control.
