Vishay unveils five new half-bridge IGBT power modules in redesigned INT-A-PAK package, samples available now
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced five new half-bridge IGBT power modules in the redesigned INT-A-PAK package.
They offer designers the option of low VCE(ON) or low Eoff to reduce conduction or switching losses in high-current inverter stages for transportation, energy, and industrial applications.
The newly released half-bridge devices combine Trench IGBTs with Gen IV FRED Pt® anti-parallel diodes with ultra soft reverse recovery characteristics. The modules’ compact INT-A-PAK package has a new gate pin orientation and is now 100% compatible with the 34 mm industry-standard package, offering a mechanical drop-in replacement.
These industrial-level devices are intended for use in power supply inverters for railway equipment, energy generation, distribution, and storage systems, welding equipment, motor drives, and robotics. The VS-GT100TS065S, VS-GT150TS065S, and VS-GT200TS065S are designed to reduce conduction losses in output stages for TIG welding machines, offering a collector to emitter voltage of ≤ 1.07 V at +125 °C and rated current. For high frequency power applications, the VS-GT100TS065N and VS-GT200TS065N offer extremely low switching losses, with Eoff down to 1.0 mJ at +125 °C and rated current.
The RoHS-compliant modules feature 650 V collector to emitter voltages, continuous collector current from 100 A to 200 A, and very low junction to case thermal resistance. UL-approved file E78996, the devices can be directly mounted to heatsinks and offer low EMI to reduce snubbing requirements.
Samples and production quantities of the new IGBT power modules are available now, with lead times of 15 weeks.
