The Powerline range of high power modules includes dual
and single switch configurations covering voltages from 600V to
3300V and currents up to 4800A.
The GP1201FSS18 is a single switch 1800V, n channel
enhancement mode, insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)
module. Designed with low V
losses, the module is of particular relevance in low to medium
to minimise conduction
CE(SAT)
frequency applications. The IGBT has a wide reverse bias safe
operating area (RBSOA) ensuring reliability in demanding
applications.
The module incorporates an electrically isolated base plate
and low inductance construction enabling circuit designers to
optimise circuit layouts and utilise earthed heat sinks for safety.

POWER ASSEMBLY CAPABILITY
The Power Assembly group was set up to provide a support service for those customers requiring more than the basic
semiconductor, and has developed a flexible range of heatsink and clamping systems in line with advances in device voltages and
current capability of our semiconductors.
We offer an extensive range of air and liquid cooled assemblies covering the full range of circuit designs in general use today. The
Assembly group continues to offer high quality engineering support dedicated to designing new units to satisfy the growing needs of
our customers.
Using the latest CAD methods our team of design and applications engineers aim to provide the Power Assembly Complete
Solution (PACs).
HEATSINKS
The Power Assembly group has its own proprietary range of extruded aluminium heatsinks. They have been designed to optimise
the performance of Dynex semiconductors. Data with respect to air natural, forced air and liquid cooling (with flow rates) is
available on request.
