Original Press Release:
APT Europe Introduces New Fast Diode Power Modules Dedicated to High Power and High Frequency Applications
Bordeaux, France - Advanced Power Technology Europe, a leader in power module technology is pleased to announce a new product line of fast diode power modules in the SP4 and SP6 packages for high power and high frequency applications.
These modules are offered in full rectifier bridge configuration in the SP4 and SP6 packages, and in dual common anode, dual common cathode, and dual diode configurations in the SP6 package. The low 17mm profile of both the SP4 and SP6 offers minimum parasitic inductance and is compatible in height with MOSFET or IGBT modules, making the assembly of the fast diodes rectifiers and the corresponding power switches very simple using the same level of bus bars or PCB. The SP4 package has solderable terminals while the SP6 module provides M5 screw connections.
All these modules incorporate fast recovery diodes with voltage ratings ranging from 200V to 1700V. In particular, the 600V, 1000V, and 1200V versions use the latest generation of very fast, soft recovery DQ series diodes from APT. 100A and 200A full rectifier bridges are offered respectively in SP4 and SP6 packages, while all the other dual diode configurations in SP6 are offered with 400A current rating.
Key Features:
- Low Profile - 17mm Height
- Same Package as MOSFET or IGBT Modules from APT Europe
- Solderable Terminals or M5 Screw Terminals
- Wide Range of Voltages - 200V to 1700V
- 100A, 200A and 400A Fast Diodes Current Ratings
- Low Inductance
- High Efficiency at Elevated Switching Frequencies
- Space and Cost Savings
- Isolated Package - Easy Mounting to Heat Sink
Applications
Main applications for this extended family are high speed rectifiers in high frequency converters or welding systems. These power diodes can also be used as free wheeling diodes in high power converters. The low profile results in low parasitic inductances, making this product range a component of choice whenever space, electrical performance, weight, and cost are a concern.
Datasheets are available to assist the designer, describing the features and benefits of these new devices in greater detail. These may be downloaded from APT's website at www.advancedpower.com or obtained from the factory.
Pricing for 1000 piece quantity ranges from $30.00 to $70.00.
Availability
Samples are available now. Lead times for volume quantities are 8-12 weeks.
