Infineon FS400R07A1E3: A High-Performance 400A 750V Dual IGBT Module for Industrial Drives and Inverters
The demand for robust, efficient, and reliable power conversion in industrial applications continues to drive innovation in semiconductor technology. Addressing this need, the Infineon FS400R07A1E3 stands out as a premier dual IGBT module engineered specifically for high-power industrial drives and inverters. This module combines high current handling, low losses, and superior thermal performance, making it an ideal solution for demanding environments.
At the core of this module are two Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), each rated for 400 Amperes with a blocking voltage of 750 Volts. This high current rating is essential for driving large industrial motors, heavy-duty conveyor systems, and high-power pumps found in manufacturing and processing plants. The 750V voltage class provides a critical safety margin for standard 380-480VAC industrial mains, ensuring reliable operation amidst voltage spikes and transients.
A key feature of the FS400R07A1E3 is its utilization of Infineon's advanced IGBT4 trench gate and field-stop technology. This technology is instrumental in achieving a remarkably low VCE(sat) (collector-emitter saturation voltage), which directly translates to reduced conduction losses. Lower losses mean higher overall system efficiency, less heat generation, and the potential for smaller cooling systems, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership.
Thermal management is paramount in power-dense applications. The module is built on the proven EconoDUAL™ 3 package, an industry-standard housing renowned for its excellent thermal cycling capability and mechanical robustness. This package allows for efficient heat transfer from the silicon dies to the heatsink, enabling the module to handle high power dissipation. The low thermal resistance, coupled with the low-loss chips, allows designers to push their systems to higher power densities without compromising on reliability or requiring excessively large heatsinks.
Furthermore, the module includes a NTC thermistor integrated into its baseplate. This provides a straightforward and effective means for real-time temperature monitoring, allowing control systems to implement advanced protection strategies like derating or shutdown in case of overtemperature conditions, thereby enhancing system longevity.
Typical applications for this powerful module extend across a wide range of industrial equipment, including:
AC drives and variable frequency drives (VFDs) for precise motor control.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) for critical infrastructure.
Industrial welding systems requiring high, stable current output.
Renewable energy inverters, particularly in large-scale solar installations.
ICGOO The Infineon FS400R07A1E3 is a high-performance power module that excels in industrial applications. Its combination of high current capacity, low VCE(sat) conduction losses, and the robust EconoDUAL™ 3 package makes it a superior choice for engineers designing efficient, compact, and reliable high-power inverters and motor drives.
