Six-IGBT IGBTMOD™
H-Series Module
50 Amperes/ 600 Volts
Description:
Powerex IGBTMOD™ Modules
are designed for use in switching
applications. Each module consists
of six IGBT Transistors in a three
phase 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.
Features:
□ Low Drive Power
□ Low V
□ Discrete Super-Fast Recovery
□ High Frequency Operation
□ Isolated Baseplate for Easy
Applications:
□ AC Motor Control
□ Motion/Servo Control
□ UPS
□ Welding Power Supplies
□ Laser Power Supplies
Ordering Information:
Example: Select the complete part
module number you desire from
the table below -i.e. CM50TF-12H
is a 600V (V
IGBT IGBTMOD™ Power Module.
