June 24, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Powerex Inc. (Youngwood, PA) has developed a new low-side chopper IGBT module, the QIQ0645001. Rated at 450A and 600V, the QIQ0645001 is an upgrade of the 300A/600V Copper IGBTMOD U Series module that is already offered by the company.

The new QIQ0645001 features a low gate-drive requirement, a low Vce, a super-fast diode and low thermal impedance. It is isolated for mounting with other components on a common heatsink. Applications include welding and power supplies. It also features three H Series 140A/600V chips per IGBT switch, and nine H Series 100A/600V chips per diode.

Sample devices of Powerex’s new QIQ0645001 are available from stock to eight weeks at $145.80 per device.
