MCD312-18IO1 - Thyristor Diode is a power electronic module combining two thyristors (switches) and diodes in a single chassis mount package. It combines two thyristors, a type of switch, and diodes in a single module mounted on a chassis for heat dissipation.
Features: Handles high currents (320A per thyristor), suitable for DC applications up to 1400V (depending on specific model).
Types: These may come in various voltage ratings and package configurations (Y2-DCB is common).
Applications: Used for AC power control (phase control), DC motor control, and high-power switching applications.
