Highest Power Density with 4.5kV Chips in worldwide standardized Module Package.

The 4.5kV trench plus Field stop IGBT and Field stop diode chips supplement the already existing high voltage classes of 3.3 and 6.5kV. Offering products also in the 4.5kV voltage class, enables Infineon to participate at the strongly growing market of power transmission and distribution as well as in special traction market segments.

It´s an evolution, filling the gap between the voltage classes of 3.3 kV and 6.5 kV IGBT modules. The chips will come in two different housings: Firstly in the IHV-B housing, the successor of the world-wide used IHV-A module with an increased storage temperature down to -55°C and several improvements regarding reliability, robustness and life time. 
Secondly in the highly insulated 6.5 kV module housing, offering 10.2 kV isolation capability and corresponding creepage and clearance distances as requested by the harsh environments of traction applications. They are optimized for application needs, which results in energy efficiency.
