MG600Q2YS60A

Overview

The Powerex MG600Q2YS60A is a Dual IGBTMOD Compact IGBT Series module rated for 1200 Volts and 600 Amperes. It integrates two IGBT transistors in a half-bridge configuration, each paired with a reverse-connected super-fast recovery free-wheel diode. The collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) is typically 2.7 V at 600 A and 25°C, rising to 3.5 V maximum at 125°C. The forward voltage (VF) of the integrated diode is typically 2.2 V at 600 A and 25°C. Junction-to-case thermal resistance is 0.029 °C/W for the IGBT and 0.056 °C/W for the diode. The module supports an operating junction temperature range from -20°C to 150°C and provides 2500 V AC isolation.
