Description:
Powerex IGBTMOD Modules
are designed for use in switching
applications. Each module
consists of one IGBT Transistor in a single configuration with
a reverse connected super-fast
recovery free-wheel diode. All
components and interconnects
are isolated from the heat sinking
baseplate, offering simplified
system assembly and thermal
management.

Represents characteristics of the anti-parallel, emitter-to-collector free-wheel diode (FWDi).

Pulse width and repetition rate should be such that device junction temperature (Tj) does not exceed Tj(max) rating.
Pulse width and repetition rate should be such as to cause negligible temperature rise.
Case temperature (TC), and heatsink temperature (Tf) measured point is just under the chips.
