PRODUCT SUMMARY

T(AV)

45/60 A

MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION

The Generation 5 of ADD-A-PAKTM module combine the
excellent thermal performance obtained by the usage of
direct bonded copper substrate with superior mechanical
ruggedness, thanks to the insertion of a solid copper
baseplate at the bottom side of the device.
The Cu baseplate allow an easier mounting on the majority
of heatsink with increased tolerance of surface roughness
and improved thermal spread.
The Generation 5 of ADD-A-PAK module is manufactured
without hard mold, eliminating in this way any possible direct
stress on the leads.
The electrical terminals are secured against axial pull-out:
they are fixed to the module housing via a click-stop feature
already tested and proved as reliable on other Vishay HPP
modules.

• Industrial standard package

• Thick Al metal die and double stick bonding

RoHS
