Chopper IGBTMOD™
U-Series Module
50 Amperes/ 1200 Volts
Description:
Powerex Chopper IGBTMOD™
Modules are designed for use in
switching applications. Each module
consists of one IGBT Transistor
having a reverse-connected superfast recovery free-wheel diode and
an anode-collector connected superfast recovery free-wheel diode. All
components and interconnects are
isolated from the heat sinking baseplate, offering simplified system
assembly and thermal management.
