Description
ISOTOP
Packaged in ISOTOP modules, the MSS40 /
MSS50 Series is based on two back-to-back SCR
configurations, providing high noise immunity.
They are suitable for high power applications such
as solid state relays, heating control systems,
welding equipment, motor control circuits...
Table 2.

le
The compactness of the ISOTOP package allows
high power density and optimized power bus
connections. Thanks to their internal ceramic pad,
they provide high voltage insulation (2500 VRMS),
complying with UL standards (File ref: E81734).

In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers these devices in ECOPACK®
packages. These packages have a lead-free second level interconnect. The category of
second level interconnect is marked on the package and on the inner box label, in
compliance with JEDEC Standard JESD97. The maximum ratings related to soldering
conditions are also marked on the inner box label. ECOPACK is an ST trademark.
ECOPACK specifications are available at: www.st.com.
