APT Europe Introduces Very Low Profile -- 12mm -- 62 X 108mm Power Modules.


BORDEAUX, France -- Advanced Power Technology Europe (Nasdaq:APTI APTI Association for Preservation Technology International
APTI Air Pollution Training Institute
), a leader in power module technology is pleased to announce a new product line of standard power modules in the 62 X 108mm SP6-P very low profile package for high frequency operation and applications where size and particularly thickness is a concern. The very low 12mm profile offers minimum parasitic par·a·sit·ic or par·a·sit·i·cal

Of, or relating to a parasite.
 inductance inductance, quantity that measures the electromagnetic induction of an electric circuit component; it is a property of the component itself rather than of the circuit as a whole. , solderable pins for easy mounting to a top Printed Circuit Board and a base plate for good heat spreading and best thermal resistance.

The standard product offering for these modules module include triple phase leg and triple dual common source configurations. Each leg is independent and can be configured con·fig·ure

To design, arrange, set up, or shape with a view to specific applications or uses:
 as a three phase bridge or a large current phase leg when connecting the three legs in parallel. On the triple phase leg the emitter/source bottom switches are open connections which makes possible the implementation of current sense devices.

These SP6-P modules are offered with FREDFETs for the phase leg modules, standard MOSFETs for the dual common source devices and also Coolmos(TM), NPT NPT National Pipe Taper (pipe thread specification)

Other product options not listed below are also available upon request. These include:

--Additional current and voltage options.

--Reconfiguration of the three leg circuit as a boost chopper circuit for Power Factor Correction Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique of counteracting the undesirable effects of electric loads that create a power factor that is less than 1. Power factor correction may be applied either by an electrical power transmission utility to improve the stability and efficiency  (PFC PFC

--Mixing of MOSFETs and IGBTs within the module.

--Other electrical configurations requiring very low profile, minimum weight, and enhanced electrical and thermal performance.

Key features:

--Very low 12mm profile -- same as Isotop(R) height

--Very low inductance for high efficiency at elevated switching frequencies

--Footprint and mounting holes compatible with popular 62mm x 108mm standard modules

--Solderable terminals - easy PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl.

--Space and cost savings

--Isolated package - easy mounting to heat sink A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips.

--Wide range of technologies available - MOSFETs, FREDFETs, NPT, PT and TRENCH IGBTs

--Wide range of voltage and current ratings

Applications

The use of the latest generation APT PowerMOS 7(R) MOSFETs, FREDFETs and PT IGBTs allows operating in hard switching mode in the range of 100 kHz to 200 kHz and at higher frequencies in resonant resonant

Principle applications for this extended family are motor control, UPS, power supplies, welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat.  converters and solid state relays A relay that contains no mechanical parts.
