IHV 6500V

IGBT modules with 6.5 kV trench plus field stop IGBT and field stop diode chips are precisely developed with the focus on railway transportation and other heavy duty applications like construction vehicles, drives used in worldwide mines with the goal of 30-40 years lifetime.

With introduction of the IHV housing, we established a standard for high power IGBT modules which was adopted by all well-known manufacturers and used in countless applications all over the world. Under permanent load in daily demanding use of transportation applications or in rough environments like industrial inverters and in wind turbines, the IHV modules convince with their high reliability and robustness.

Its high RMS current capability, optimized switching losses, wide electrical limits, operation at high DC-link voltages and its robustness are only a small glimpse into the advantages, that make Infineon 6.5 kV IHV modules customer’s favorite.

To satisfy various performance and size requirements our 6.5 kV IHV A are offered in three package sizes (73 x 140 x 48 mm &  130 x 140 x 48mm & 190 x 140 x 38 mm), and are offered as well in three topologies: Single Switch-, Chopper- and Diode IGBT modules.

Especially traction applications operating under harsh conditions require high isolation capability and corresponding creepage and clearance distances which can be found in the 6.5 kV modules.
