use in applications requiring phase control
and isolated packaging. The modules are
isolated for easy mounting with other
components on a common heatsink.
Features:
Electrically Isolated Heatsinking
Compression Bonded Elements
Metal Baseplate
Low Thermal Impedance
for Improved Current Capability
UL Recognized (E78240)
Benefits:
No Additional Insulation
Components Required
Easy Installation
No Clamping Components
Required
Reduce Engineering Time
Applications:
Bridge Circuits
AC & DC Motor Drives
Motor Soft Starters
Battery Supplies
Power Supplies
Large IGBT Circuit Front Ends
Ordering Information:
