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 GP400DDS18 is a dual switch 1800V, n channel
enhancement mode, insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)
module. 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.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS - PER ARM
Stresses above those listed under 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' may cause permanent damage to the device. In extreme
conditions, as with all semiconductors, this may include potentially hazardous rupture of the package. Appropriate safety
precautions should always be followed. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Ratings may affect device reliability.

POWER ASSEMBLY CAPABILITY
The Power Assembly group provides support for those customers requiring more than the basic semiconductor switch. Using CAD
design tools the group has developed a flexible range of heatsink / clamping systems in line with advances in device types and the
voltage and current capability of Dynex semiconductors.
An extensive range of air and liquid cooled assemblies is available covering the range of circuit designs in general use today.
HEATSINKS
The Power Assembly group has a proprietary range of extruded aluminium heatsinks. These were designed to optimise the
performance ofDynex semiconductors. Data with respect to air natural, forced air and liquid cooling (with flow rates) is available on
request.
For further information on device clamps, heatsinks and assemblies, please contact your nearest sales representative or customer
service office.
