Introducing Semikron’s SEMITRANS 10 Series

Published on: 18/08/2016

GD Rectifiers is excited to announce the launch of Semikron’s new SEMITRANS 10 series

SEMITRANS 10

SEMITRANS 10 is a robust industrial standard package with copper baseplate and screw terminals for power connections. The SEMITRANS 10 package provides a low-inductance design supporting a product range of 1000A and 1400A in the 1700V class. High availability is ensured due to multiple IGBT sources and Semikron CAL diodes.

Direct Pressed Technology (DPD)

SEMITRANS 10 is the first standard package introducing Direct Pressed Die (DPD) technology. DPD could increase the output power by more than 30% compared to the standard SEMITRANS 10 and this is by sticking to the same IGBT & Diode technology.

• Ultra low Rth design
• Unreached output performance
• Extended silicon real estate
• Single AC terminal allowing easy upgrade of existing stack designs
• Superb switching characteristics by optimised flex layer design
• More output power @ lower losses
• Pc greater than 200.000 cycles @dT 110K
• TC greater than 1000 cycles @dT 165K

Benefits

• Robust industrial standard package
• Competitive second source IGBT
• Optimised low stray inductance design for safe operation with high DC-link voltages
• Unique low loss switching performance
• Package architecture prepared for future high temperature chip generations

Applications

The proven package is designed for a broad range of applications such as regenerative inverters and power supplies requiring long service life and robustness by maintaining flexibility and scaling capabilities.

Product Range

The SEMITRANS 10 is available in 1700V both in 1000A and 1400A in a common industrial standard package.

The first standard package introducing Direct Pressed Die (DPD) technology. DPD could increase the output power by more than 30% compared to the standard SEMITRANS 10 and this by sticking to the same IGBT & Diode technology. Watch the full Semikron SEMITRANS 10 Series video here.
