Outline Drawing and Circuit Diagram
Description:
Powerex IGBTMODTM Modules
are designed for use in switching
applications. Each module consists
of two IGBT Transistors in a half-
bridge configuration with each tran-
sistor having a reverse-connected
super-fast recovery free-wheel
diode. All components and intercon-
nects are isolated from the heat
sinking baseplate, offering simpli-
fied system assembly and thermal
management.
Features:
Low Drive Power
Low V
CE(sat)
Discrete Super-Fast Recovery
Free-Wheel Diode
Isolated Baseplate for Easy
Heat Sinking
Applications:
AC Motor Control
UPS
Battery Powered Supplies
