Power Driver Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix against the manufacturer's current database, as legacy Fairchild nomenclature may differ from ON Semiconductor standards. Confirm package type and packing quantity requirements prior to ordering. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and verify that the component meets specific UL certification requirements for your target market.

Power Driver Modules Selection Notes

Select this module for designs requiring a compact, integrated solution for single-phase AC/DC power conversion. It is suitable for applications needing 20 A continuous current capability at 600 V blocking voltage. Consider the internal gate drive characteristics and protection thresholds when designing the control loop and external sensing components.

Power Driver Modules Part Context

This component belongs to the PFC SPM® 3 Series, which consolidates multiple power functions into a single package. Originally manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, it is now distributed by ON Semiconductor following their acquisition. The series is engineered to simplify the design of high-efficiency power factor correction stages in various electronic systems.

Power Driver Modules Replacement Considerations

Consult the official ON Semiconductor website for updated device numbers due to naming convention changes during the Fairchild integration. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting with other modules in the PFC SPM® family or alternative manufacturers' offerings.

Power Driver Modules FAQ

What is the isolation rating of the FPAB20BH60B?

The module provides an isolation rating of 2500 Vrms for one minute at 60 Hz sinusoidal AC between the pins connected to the heat sink plate.

How does the module handle over-current conditions?
