Features
FeaturesFeatures
• High short circuit rating optimized for motor control,
t
=10µs, @360V VCE (start), TJ = 125°C,
sc
VGE = 15V
• Combines low conduction losses with high
switching speed
• Latest generation design provides tighter parameter
distribution and higher efficiency than previous
generations
Benefits
• As a Freewheeling Diode we recommend our
HEXFRED
minimum EMI / Noise and switching losses in the
Diode and IGBT
• Latest generation 4 IGBTs offer highest power
density motor controls possible
• This part replaces the IRGBC20K and IRGBC20M
devices
