Dual IGBTMOD™
NX-Series Module
150 Amperes/1200 Volts
Description:
Powerex IGBTMOD™ Modules
are designed for use in switching
applications. Each module
consists of two IGBT Transistors
in a half-bridge configuration with
each transistor having a reverseconnected super-fast recovery
free-wheel diode. All components
and interconnects are isolated from
the heat sinking baseplate, offering
simplified system assembly and
thermal management.
