Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its Compact Standard Series of IGBT modules with the addition of three new 250V devices aimed at high-power switching and motor control applications in forklift trucks, light electric vehicles and any other designs where space is restricted. Manufactured using silicon N-channel IGBT technology, the three modules offer current ratings of 150, 200 and 400A, all with a typical collector-emitter saturation voltage of 1.3V and an isolation voltage of 2500V AC.

The 400A model provides a half-bridge circuit in a package with overall dimensions of 122.0 x 62.0 x 37.5 mm, whereas the 150 and 200A models incorporate six IGBTs in packages measuring 107.0 x 55.0 x 33.5 mm and 122.0 x 62.0 x 26.0 mm respectively.

All three IGBT modules enable effective thermal management by the inclusion of a built-in thermistor with external output pins.

Designed for a maximum junction temperature of 150C, the modules have an operating temperature range of -40 to 125C.
