CM100TF-28H

Overview

The CM100TF-28H is a six-IGBT H-Series module from Powerex, designed for switching applications. It features a three-phase bridge configuration with discrete super-fast recovery free-wheel diodes. Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter voltage (V_CES) of 1400 Volts and a continuous collector current (I_C) of 100 Amperes. The maximum power dissipation is 780 Watts, with a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. Static characteristics specify a typical V_CE(sat) of 3.1V at 100A and 15V gate drive. Dynamic performance includes a resistive turn-on delay time of 250ns and a switch turn-off delay time of 300ns.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement, as suffixes may indicate variations in terminal configurations or packaging that do not alter the core electrical function. Confirm compatibility with mounting hardware specifications, specifically M5 terminal and mounting screw torque limits of 17 in-lb. Ensure thermal interface materials are selected to achieve the specified contact thermal resistance values for optimal heat sinking performance.

Selection Notes

Select this module for high-power three-phase inverter designs requiring 1400V blocking capability and 100A continuous current handling. Evaluate the thermal resistance parameters, noting the distinct junction-to-case values for IGBTs (0.16 °C/W) versus free-wheel diodes (0.35 °C/W). Consider the gate charge requirements and switching times when designing driver circuits to ensure stable operation within the specified frequency range of 20-25kHz.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Powerex IGBTMOD™ H-Series, which provides robust solutions for industrial power conversion. The series utilizes isolated baseplate technology to enhance safety and simplify mechanical integration into larger power electronic systems. The H-Series designation indicates specific performance optimizations for high-voltage switching environments common in motor drives and renewable energy applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the six-IGBT three-phase bridge topology and 1400V/100A ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions, particularly the M5 mounting thread pattern and overall footprint. Check if alternative modules offer comparable switching speeds and thermal resistance characteristics to maintain system efficiency without redesigning the cooling infrastructure.
