FAQ
1. What is the MDK55A1600V Anti-Reverse Diode Module?
The MDK55A1600V is a dual common-cathode anti-reverse diode module specifically designed for photovoltaic systems, featuring a plastic package with through-hole mounting. Its primary function is to prevent reverse current from flowing from the battery back to the solar panels when they are not generating power, avoiding energy loss and component damage. It also prevents reverse current flow between different branches of the PV array.
2. What are the key specifications of the MDK55A1600V module?
Average Forward Current (IF(AV)) : 55A (180° half sine wave, 50Hz, single-side cooling, Tc=100℃)
Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage (VRRM) : 1600V
RMS Current (IF(RMS)) : 86A
Non-Repetitive Peak Surge Current (IFSM) : 1.30kA (10ms base width, half sine wave)
Repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IRRM) : 8mA
Peak Forward Voltage (VFM) : 1.45V (IFM=170A, 25℃)
Junction Temperature (Tj) : 150℃
Storage Temperature (Tstg) : -40℃ ~ 125℃
3. What package does the MDK55A1600V module use?
It uses a plastic package with module outline 101F and weight of approximately 0.12kg. It features 3 screw terminals with a mounting hole diameter of 6.2mm/0.24". Mounting torque: 4N·m for M5 screws, 6N·m for M6 screws.
4. What applications is the MDK55A1600V module suitable for?
It is primarily used in PV combiner boxes, PV inverters, and PV DC distribution cabinets. Specific applications include PV string reverse current protection, new energy battery charging/discharging, AC-to-DC charging piles, UPS systems, frequency converters, and AC/DC motor control.
5. What development tools support the MDK55A1600V module?
This is a passive power device that requires no programming or software development tools. Designers should refer to the product datasheet for circuit design and thermal calculations. A heatsink is required for installation — at 55A continuous current, forward voltage drop is approximately 0.7V with power loss of about 38.5W. A heatsink is mandatory when ambient temperature exceeds 40℃.
6. What is the operating temperature range of the MDK55A1600V module?
The junction temperature (Tj) ranges from -40℃ to 150℃, with a storage temperature (Tstg) of -40℃ to 125℃. Ambient temperature should not exceed 40℃. The module maintains stable performance without derating under high-temperature and high-irradiation conditions.
7. What is the insulation performance of the MDK55A1600V module?
The chip is electrically insulated from the base plate, with insulation voltage of 2500V ~ 3000VAC. The insulation voltage between module terminals and the copper base plate exceeds 3.1KV RMS. This allows multiple modules to be mounted on the same heatsink or on grounded enclosures.
8. What should be noted when installing the MDK55A1600V module?
Heatsink is mandatory: Power dissipation is approximately 38.5W at 55A continuous current
Through-hole mounting is used, with screw terminal connections
Mounting torque: 4N·m for M5 screws, 6N·m for M6 screws
Chip is electrically insulated from the base plate — multiple modules can share the same heatsink
Forced air cooling is recommended
