IR Expands Portfolio of 600V IGBTs for UPS, Solar, Industrial Motor and Welding Applications

International Rectifier, (IR)® announced the expansion of its portfolio of rugged, reliable ultra-fast 600V Trench Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) with the introduction of the IRGP4067DPbF and IRGP4066DPbF devices for uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), solar, industrial motor and welding applications.

The IRGP4067DPbF and IRGP4066DPbF utilize Trench thin wafer technology to offer lower conduction and switching losses. Co-packaged with a soft recovery low Qrr diode, the new devices are optimized for ultra-fast switching (8KHz-30KHz) with 5us short circuit rating and feature low Vce(on) and positive Vce(on) temperature coefficient for easy paralleling.

"These new 600V IGBTs are suitable for a wide range of switching frequencies due to their low Vce(on) and low switching losses while offering higher system efficiency and rugged transient performance for increased reliability," said Llewellyn Vaughan-Edmunds, IGBT product marketing manager, IR’s Energy Saving Products Business Unit.

Offered as both die and packaged devices, and available with or without short-circuit rating, other key features of the new devices include maximum junction temperature of 175°C and low EMI for improved reliability.

Pricing begins at US $5.58 and US $4.80 each in 10,000-unit quantities for the IRGPS4067D and IRGP4066DPbF respectively. Production quantities are available immediately.
