Infineon press pack IGBT

The 125mm pole piece diameter housing is hermetically sealed and specifically designed to withstand system-induced failures.

“This PPI is specifically designed for transmission and distribution applications, and is ideal for high current MMCs [modular multi-level converters], medium voltage drives, dc breakers, wind turbine converters and traction systems,” according tot the company.


The choice is: 2kA with an internal free-wheeling diode (P2000DL45X168), or 3kA without one (P3000ZL45X168).



These are ‘Prime Switch’ branded parts, more of which are scheduled to appear by the end of the year.
