Dual IGBTMOD™
A-Series Module
400 Amperes/1200 Volts
Description:
Powerex IGBTMOD™ Modules
are designed for use in switching
applications. Each module consists
of two IGBT Transistors in a halfbridge configuration with each transistor having a reverse-connected
super-fast recovery free-wheel
diode. All components and interconnects are isolated from the heat
