Description:
Powerex POW-R-BRIK™ Modules
are designed for medium and high
current power control applications.
POW-R-BRIK™ Modules feature
an electrically isolated package
that simplifies system packaging,
installation and cooling.
POW-R-BRIK™ Modules utilize
Compression Bonded
Encapsulation (CBE) mounting
and double side cooling of the
semiconductor elements. The Z7A
outline POW-R-BRIK™ uses
33mm or 38mm elements and the
Z9A outline POW-R-BRIK™ uses
50mm elements. Standard circuit
configurations include Dual SCR,
Dual Diode, SCR/Diode, and
Diode/SCR. Additional circuit con-
figurations, e.g. Single Element,
Common Cathode, Common
Anode, and special element types,
e.g. Fast Switch SCRs, Fast
Recovery Diodes, GTOs, and
Transistors are available.
Features:
Electrically Isolated Packaging
Anodized Aluminum Housing
Internal Copper Contacting
Gold Element Contacting
Internal Temperature Sensor
Compression Element
Contacting
Applications:
Mounting Bolt (E) Torque Limit is 11 ft.-lb.
Electrical terminal (G) torque limit is 11 ft.-lb. for type
Z7A and 20 ft.-lb. for Z9A.
Apply a thin coating of thermal joint compound to heat
sink surface prior to module mounting.
Module weights: Z7A weighs 6 lbs. while the Z9A module
weighs 11 lbs.
If incoming tests are done for isolation voltage, the volt-
age should be applied in a slow manner rather than
abruptly imposed on the device. The voltage should be
applied between the top terminals, which must be shorted
together, and the metal case.
The metal case is anodized and provides added voltage
isolation capability if not damaged: factory hi-pot test is
achieved without the benefit of the anodized coating.
Ordering Information:
Select the complete thirteen digit
module part number you desire
from the Configuration Reference
Description.
Example: P3Z7ACT700W16 is a
1600 Volt, 375 Ampere Average,
Dual SCR POW-R-BRIK™ Module
with the standard thermistor.

Configuration Reference:
The POW-R-BRIK™ part number
system takes the form
P3 Z7A
CT7 00 W16
where:
•
P3
is the configuration number.
The configurations are shown
pictorially in the right hand
column.
•
Z7A
is the package type per
the outline drawings Z7A and
Z9A on this data sheet.
•
CT7
denotes the element code.
The Element Code Reference
at the end of this data sheet
provides information on the
standard element codes
including the corresponding
disc device using the element.
Refer to the appropriate disc
package data sheets in the
Powerex Semiconductor Data
Book for additional device
specifications.
•
00
denotes special features:
00 – module includes
standard thermistor
XT – no thermistor
AA-ZZ – denotes unique
customer specification
•
W16
denotes voltage code per
the table below. Note that not
all voltage ratings are available
for every element. Refer to the
Element Code Reference for
available voltage ranges for a
given element.
