Infineon FS450R17KE3/AGDR-71C: A High-Performance 1700V PrimePACK™ 3B IGBT Module
In the demanding world of high-power industrial and renewable energy applications, the efficiency, robustness, and reliability of power semiconductors are paramount. The Infineon FS450R17KE3/AGDR-71C stands out as a premier solution, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern high-voltage systems. This 1700V IGBT module, packaged in the robust PrimePACK™ 3B housing, represents a significant advancement in power electronics, offering designers a superior combination of performance and durability.
At the core of this module's capability is its impressive voltage rating of 1700V, making it exceptionally suited for applications such as industrial drives, renewable energy inverters (particularly solar and wind), traction systems, and high-power UPS. This high blocking voltage ensures reliable operation even in the presence of significant voltage spikes commonly encountered in these environments.
The module integrates advanced IGBT7 technology, Infineon's latest generation of IGBTs. This technology delivers a remarkable trade-off between low saturation voltage (Vce(sat)) and minimal switching losses. The result is significantly higher efficiency, which translates directly into reduced energy losses and lower operating temperatures. This allows for either higher power density in system designs or the use of smaller cooling systems, optimizing the overall system cost and size.
Furthermore, the FS450R17KE3 is designed for high reliability. Its low-loss diode ensures excellent reverse recovery characteristics, which is critical for minimizing losses and stress in inverter legs. The module's construction utilizes AL2O3 (Alumina Oxide) ceramic substrates with copper baseplates, providing superior thermal cycling capability and mechanical stability. This robust construction ensures a long operational lifetime even under demanding thermal cycling conditions. The press-fit contacts for the auxiliary emitter offer a reliable, solder-free connection, further enhancing mechanical robustness.
The PrimePACK™ 3B package itself is a key feature, offering a standardized and compact mechanical design that is widely adopted across the industry. This simplifies mechanical integration and cooling system design for engineers. The module's high current rating of 450A makes it a powerful building block for three-phase inverters in the megawatt range.
ICGOOFind: The Infineon FS450R17KE3/AGDR-71C is a top-tier 1700V IGBT module that sets a high standard for performance and reliability. Its use of cutting-edge IGBT7 technology, combined with the robust PrimePACK™ 3B package, makes it an ideal choice for engineers designing next-generation high-power, high-efficiency systems across industrial and renewable energy sectors.
