IXYS Corporation, an international power and integrated circuit (IC) semiconductor company, today announced that its subsidiary, IXYS UK Westcode Ltd., has launched a new, higher voltage rectifier diode in a dual-isolated base module.
The diodes, rated at up to 3600 volts (V), are encapsulated in the industry-standard 5.87-inch (149-millimetre, mm) × 2.36-inch (60mm) base-plate housing. The diodes have an average current rating of 632 amperes (A) for a case temperature of 85°C (185°F) and have a peak surge rating of 13 kilo amperes (kA). Junction to case thermal resistance for each diode is 0.062°Kelvins per watt (K/W). The diode dice are fused to a metal disc for thermal performance with a copper base plate and an all-pressure contact construction for reliability and ruggedness.
The diode is available in two voltage classes, 3kV and 3.6kV, and three different configurations: MDD (half bridge), MDA (common anode) and MDK (common cathode). Nomenclature is standard for this product group from IXYS UK: Half bridge 3kV MDD630-30N2 & 3.6kV MDD630-36N2, Common anode 3kV MDA630-30N2 & 3.6kV MDA630-36N2 and Common cathode 3kV MDK630-30N2 & 3.6kV MDK630-36N2. Devices are suitable for all rectifier diode applications requiring this current and voltage rating.
