Infineon Prime Soft Diodes family

EBV presents the new diodes for IGBTs build on our existing IGCT freewheeling diode family. A big improvement is the turn-off capability, which has been upgraded to 5 kA/us.

Features

• Simplified mechanical stack construction
• 50% time savings in stack design
• Fewer safety devices required thanks to high overload capab.
• Full blocking capability 50/60 Hz over a wide temperature

Additional features

• High case non-rupture current
• Soft turn-off behavior at high turn-off di/dt
• Extreme overcurrent capability of 80 kA@10ms

Applications

• High Voltage Direct Current Transmission HVDC
• Medium Voltage Converters
• Freewheeling Diode for IGCT - Applications
• Freewheeling Diode for IGBT - Applications
• Pulsed Power Applications
• Perfect fit for modern IGBT applications
