APT Europe Intros New Standard Power Modules

Advanced Power Technology Inc. (APT, Bend, OR) announced its new product line of non-punch-through (NPT) IGBT power modules in commonly used packages. A range of standard IGBT power modules incorporated into the popular 34mm and 62mm packages, called D1, D3 and D4, will be offered in single-switch, phase-leg, boost and buck configurations using 600V to 1,700V NPT IGBTs. The modules are dedicated to medium-power and high-power, hard-switching applications such as switch-mode power supplies, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) or three-phase inverters.

A second family of standard IGBT power modules in low-profile packages named E2, E3, P2 and P3, will incorporate three-phase bridge configurations with or without input rectifier bridge, brake switch and NTC. The new line will cover a range of 600V to 1,700V and current capabilities from 10A to 150A. Main applications are three-phase motor drives and UPSs. The modules are pin-to-pin compatible with well-known six-pack or other econo-type standard modules.
