CM100RL-12NF

Overview

The CM100RL-12NF is a six IGBTMOD™ plus brake NF-Series power module manufactured by Powerex, Inc. It integrates six N-channel IGBT transistors in a three-phase bridge configuration and a seventh IGBT with a free-wheeling diode for dynamic braking. The device features an isolated baseplate for simplified thermal management. Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter voltage (VCES) of 600 V, an inverter sector collector current rating of 100 A at TC = 99°C, and a brake sector collector current rating of 50 A at TC = 107°C. The maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and the isolation voltage is 2500 VAC.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact terminal housing types and pinout configurations. Ensure that the selected module variant matches the required mounting torque specifications for M5 screws. Cross-reference the datasheet revision number to validate all electrical characteristics and thermal resistance values before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this module based on the 600 V collector-emitter voltage rating and the 100 A continuous current requirement for the inverter sector. Consider the 50 A current capability of the dedicated brake sector for dynamic braking applications. Evaluate the thermal resistance values and ensure adequate cooling solutions are implemented to maintain the junction temperature within the specified -40°C to 150°C operating range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Powerex NF-Series, which consists of six IGBTMOD™ modules combined with a brake circuit. The series is engineered for switching applications requiring integrated three-phase inversion and dynamic braking capabilities. The design emphasizes ease of thermal management through an isolated baseplate structure, distinguishing it from standard half-bridge or single-unit configurations.
