• Renewable Energy (Wind Turbines, Solar Inverters)
• High Power Supplies
• Active Front End (AFE) rectifiers
• UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies)

Features

• High current capability (1600A)
• 1200V blocking voltage
• Low VCE(sat) (Collector-Emitter Saturation Voltage)
• Fast switching speed
• Integrated temperature sensor (NTC Thermistor)
• Isolated baseplate for easy mounting and thermal management
• RoHS compliant

Benefits

• High efficiency due to low switching losses and low VCE(sat)
• Improved system reliability and robustness
• Simplified thermal design with integrated temperature sensor
• Reduced system size and cost due to high power density

Additional Details

The FZ1600R12KE3 is designed for high performance and reliability in demanding power electronic applications. The low VCE(sat) minimizes conduction losses, while the fast switching speed reduces switching losses, resulting in high overall efficiency. The integrated temperature sensor allows for accurate monitoring of the module's temperature, enabling effective thermal management and preventing over-temperature failures. The isolated baseplate provides electrical isolation between the module and the heatsink, simplifying assembly and improving safety. This IGBT module is suitable for applications requiring high power, high efficiency, and long-term reliability.
