Single IGBTMOD™
HVIGBT Module
1800 Amperes/1700 Volts
Description:
Powerex IGBTMOD™ Modules
are designed for use in switching
applications. Each module consists
of one IGBT Transistor in a
reverse-connected super-fast
recovery free-wheel diode.
All components and interconnects
are isolated from the heat sinking
baseplate, offering simplified
