PRODUCT OUTLOOK 5
Thyristor / diode modules
All thyristor / diode modules feature industry standard housings and very low losses together with the highest operating temperatures.
Typical applications are AC motor soft starters, variable speed drives and renewable energies. Features within high-power semiconductors are also used in our thyristor/diode module product line.
Target ratings 50Pak and 60Pak
The benefits of these features include highest per- formance, outstanding reliability, increased overload capability and many more. The 60Pak diode-diode (DD) module with 2200 V is qualified and available
in volume now. For more details see page 27. The lineup will be expanded rapidly to different voltages and configurations in the coming years.

2500 V reverse-blocking IGCT
With the introduction of the newly developed 2.5 kV reverse-blocking Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristors (RB-IGCT), another powerful device is added to the successful and well-established IGCT product line.
The RB-IGCT is optimized for the lowest conduction losses and highest turn-off current capability.
The conduction losses are reduced to less than 1000 W at 1000 A, a record low value for a power semiconductor device in this class.
Rating of 2500 V, RB-IGCT
To achieve the highest turn-off current capability of 7000 A, the well known and proven HPT+ platform is used. Due to its outstanding performance, efficiency and reliability, the new RB-IGCT is the ideal device for Solid State Circuit Breakers (SSCB) used in renewables, transport electrification and modern edge grids.
