Vincotech Integrates Multiple Power Modules into a Single Housing

Vincotech, an independent operating unit within Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, has unveiled the new power module flow90PACK 0, which integrates several power modules into one housing size for 90° PCB mounting. Featuring three half-bridges up to 1200 V / 35 A with open emitters, this is the module of choice for multiple-axis servo drives where space is at a premium. Another step up the evolutionary ladder from Vincotech's popular flow90 1 housing, the flow90 0 housing is a space-saving unit that does not require costly L-shaped heat-sinks. flow90PACK 0 not only works with standard heat-sink formats, it is also easy to mount. The module simply clips into the PCB.

Both the new flow90 0 housing and standard modules feature the same DCB dimensions (33 x 66 mm) and power and chip options. Consequently, flow90PACK 0 is well suited for much the same range of products – the selection of layouts and topologies being limited only by the special pinning concept. With the benefit of its remarkably slim housing, this module is the perfect choice for bookshelf sized systems with multiple modules. The flow90PACK 0 is now in serial production.
