Infineon Technologies announced new IGBT modules in 62 mm package size. The new power modules serve the growing demand for higher power density. Typical applications for modules with 1200 V blocking voltage are drives, solar inverters and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) as well as medium voltage drives for modules with 1700 V blocking voltage.
The new 62 mm module reaches a maximum current rating of 600 A, with a blocking voltage of 1200 V, and at 1700 V blocking voltage, the maximum current rating is 500 A.
The package is equipped with a base plate and it can therefore easily be integrated into existing designs delivering, for example, 20 percent more output power when applied for drives.
Two versions of the new power modules are also available in the “common emitter” configuration, with which a 3-level topology (NPC2) can be set up. This allows an efficient use in solar and UPS applications where the demand for power is high.
The new 62 mm power modules are in volume production, they are also available with pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM).
