Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

BORDEAUX, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2003

Advanced Power Technology Europe, (Nasdaq:APTI) a leader in power module technology, is pleased to announce its new product line of standard power modules in new packages. These new power modules will be on display at the PCIM Europe Show, May 20-22.

A full product range of standard power modules will be available including: 600 & 1200 volt PT IGBTs, for the ultimate in a high switching speed IGBT module, NPT IGBTs for SMPS and high performance motor drive applications, and Power MOS 7(R) MOSFETs for high frequency applications such as inductive heating and inverters for arc welding. Improved reliability and outstanding performance at high frequency are the major benefits of these new power modules. Among these new packages, the SP4 and SP6 offer an assembly alternative to discrete solutions or equivalent conventional standard packages. With 17 mm height, the SP4 modules are compatible with standard industrial package heights, including input rectifier bridge modules. Available in 17 mm height and in 12 mm on request, the SP6 package allows improved design able to fit into existing assemblies which incorporate several Isotop(R) devices in parallel or any other common packages as input rectifier bridge modules. For additional product information visit our booth at the PCIM Europe Show.

With Operations in Bend, Oregon, Santa Clara, California, Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania and Bordeaux France, APT is a leading supplier of high power switching transistors (MOSFETs, IGBTs), Diodes (FRED and Schottky), RF & Microwave Transistors, and Power Modules for RF, Microwave, Linear, and Switchmode Applications.
