PS21961-4

Overview

The PS21961-4 is a Dual-In-Line Intelligent Power Module manufactured by Powerex Inc. It integrates AC motor control functions within a hybrid microelectronic assembly package. The device supports an operating temperature range from -20 °C to 100 °C and requires a supply voltage between 13 V and 18.5 V, with a nominal rating of 15 V. It features a maximum output current capability of 6 A and operates at a voltage rating of 600 Volts. The module utilizes a 25-pin through-hole configuration.

Feature Summary

• Integrates intelligent power switching and AC motor control logic in a single hybrid module
• Provides high-voltage isolation capabilities for industrial motor drive applications
• Features a robust dual-in-line physical form factor for standard mounting

Applications

• AC motor controller systems
• Industrial motor drive circuits
• High-voltage power switching modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-4' against official Powerex documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical ratings. Ensure the required 0V to 400V auxiliary supply is available for proper operation. Confirm that the 25-pin DMA package matches the target PCB footprint before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined intelligent power module and AC motor controller is required. The 6 A output current and 600 V rating suit medium-power industrial applications. Verify thermal management requirements given the 100 °C maximum junction temperature limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PS219 series of intelligent power modules produced by Powerex. These modules are designed to simplify the design of AC motor drives by integrating gate drivers and protection circuits directly with the power switches.
