CM600HX-12A

Overview

The CM600HX-12A is a single IGBTMOD NX-Series power module manufactured by Powerex, Inc. It integrates one IGBT transistor and a reverse-connected super-fast recovery free-wheel diode within an isolated baseplate package. The device supports a collector-emitter voltage (VCES) of 600 Volts and a continuous collector current (IC) of 600 Amperes at a case temperature of 55°C. Peak collector and emitter currents reach 1200 Amperes. The module includes an integrated NTC thermistor for thermal monitoring and features low drive power requirements with a typical VCE(sat) of 1.7 Volts at 25°C.

Feature Summary

• Isolated baseplate design simplifies system assembly and thermal management
• Integrated discrete super-fast recovery free-wheel diode
• Low drive power consumption characteristics
• Built-in NTC thermistor sector for internal temperature monitoring

Applications

• AC Motor Control
• Motion/Servo Control
• Photovoltaic/Fuel Cell Systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision status against the manufacturer's documentation before procurement. Confirm that mounting torque specifications are strictly adhered to during installation: 31 in-lb for M5 mounting screws and 40 in-lb for M6 main terminal screws. Ensure the heatsink surface flatness meets the specified tolerance of ±0 to +100 µm on the centerline to maintain optimal thermal contact and prevent mechanical stress on the module baseplate.

Selection Notes

Select this component for high-current switching applications requiring a single IGBT configuration with an anti-parallel diode. Evaluate the thermal resistance parameters, specifically Rth(j-c) of 0.066 °C/W for the IGBT and 0.11 °C/W for the diode, against your heatsink capabilities. Consider the gate charge of 1600 nC and internal gate resistance when designing the driver circuitry to ensure proper switching speeds and minimize losses.
