VS-130MT...C, VS-160MT...C, and VS-300MT...C series three-bridge power modules. Source: Vishay. The Vishay Semiconductors VS-130MT...C, VS-160MT...C, and VS-300MT...C series deliver higher output current, blocking voltage and surge current than previous-generation solutions.
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced three series of three-phase-bridge power modules designed to increase efficiency and reliability for heavy-duty industrial-level applications. The Vishay Semiconductors VS-130MT...C, VS-160MT...C, and VS-300MT...C series deliver higher output current, blocking voltage and surge current than previous-generation solutions, while offering improved thermal resistance in the five-terminal MTC package.
The devices feature high output current from 130 A to 300 A, and blocking voltage to 1,800 V. For high efficiency, the power modules offer surge current to 2,512 A and an electrically insulated case for excellent junction-to-case thermal resistance down to 0.23° C/W. The device’s robust MTC plastic package provides high reliability, while its screw terminals allow for compatibility with competing solutions.
The VS-130MT...C, VS-160MT...C, and VS-300MT...C series provide three-phase rectification for industrial power supplies, high-frequency welding, plasma cutting, and industrial battery chargers, in addition to input rectification for AC/DC motor controls. The RoHS-compliant devices offer 3,600 VRMS insulation voltage and are pending UL approval.
Samples and production quantities of the power modules are available now, with lead times of eight to 10 weeks for large orders.
