IGBT modules deliver highly integrated power conversion

Mouser now stocks the ACEPACK IGBT modules from STMicroelectronics. This new plastic power module family was developed to address industrial applications. The Adaptable Compact Easier PACKage (ACEPACK) modules offer economical and highly integrated power conversion for 3kW-30kW industrial and power management solutions. These robust modules couple high power density with reliability. The modules come in two compact configurations and feature the company’s third-generation trench gate field-stop IGBTs. Creators have a choice of six-pack modules that contain six IGBTs with freewheeling diodes as a three-phase inverter, or PIM that offer a total driver power stage. The PIMs are CIB modules that integrate a three-phase inverter, a three-phase rectifier, and a braking chopper for handling energy returned from the load. The module types both contain an NTC thermistor for temperature sensing and control. The modules are available in an assortment of mounting configurations, which includes optional solder-free press-fit connections, which simplify assembly as a choice to conventional soldered pins, and metal screw clamps that enable fast and reliable mounting. The ACEPACK modules give an ideal solution for applications such as air conditioners, inverters, industrial motor drives, solar panels and generators, battery chargers, UPS, welders, and electric vehicles.
