CM30TF-12H

Overview

The CM30TF-12H is a six-IGBT insulated gate bipolar transistor module from the IGBTMOD™ H-Series, manufactured by Powerex. It features a three-phase bridge configuration with discrete super-fast recovery free-wheel diodes for each transistor. The device supports a collector-emitter voltage of 600 V and a continuous collector current of 30 A. Key electrical parameters include a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C, an isolation voltage of 2500 Vrms, and a typical collector-emitter saturation voltage of 2.1 V at 30 A. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.80 °C/W per IGBT and 2.00 °C/W per free-wheel diode.

Feature Summary

• Six-IGBT three-phase bridge topology with integrated reverse-connected super-fast recovery free-wheel diodes
• Isolated baseplate design simplifies system assembly and thermal management
• Optimized for high-frequency operation between 15 kHz and 20 kHz
• Low drive power requirements combined with low collector-emitter saturation voltage

Applications

• AC motor control systems
• Motion and servo control drives
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• Welding power supplies
• Laser power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source when sourcing this component, as it may be produced by Powerex or Mitsubishi Electric under license. Confirm that the received part matches the exact CM30TF-12H designation to ensure compatibility with the specified 600V/30A ratings and pinout configuration. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to absolute maximum ratings or thermal characteristics before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this module for applications requiring a compact six-pack IGBT solution with integrated anti-parallel diodes. Ensure the cooling system can handle the specified thermal resistances of 0.80 °C/W for IGBTs and 2.00 °C/W for diodes. Verify that the gate drive circuitry provides the required ±15 V swing and accounts for the total gate charge of 90 nC. Confirm that peak currents do not exceed 60 A without violating junction temperature limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGBTMOD™ H-Series line of medium-power switching modules. It is functionally equivalent to the Mitsubishi Electric CM30TF-12H, reflecting a common industry standard for six-pack IGBT configurations. The module utilizes a flange-mount package with an isolated baseplate, distinguishing it from non-isolated or smaller footprint alternatives in the same voltage class.

Replacement Considerations

The Mitsubishi Electric CM30TF-12H is a confirmed direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. When replacing, verify that the mounting torque does not exceed 17 in-lb for M5 screws to prevent mechanical damage to the ceramic substrate.
