PS21962-4C

Overview

The PS21962-4C is a Dual-In-Line Intelligent Power Module (IPM) manufactured by Powerex Inc. It integrates power devices, drivers, and protection circuitry in an ultra-compact dual-in-line transfer-mold package designed for driving small three-phase motors. The module utilizes fifth-generation IGBTs and application-specific HVICs to reduce inverter size and design time. Key electrical parameters include a maximum output current of 10 A and a supply voltage range with a nominal value of 15 V, operating between 13 V and 16.5 V.

• Small motor control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Powerex Inc., noting its historical relationship with Mitsubishi Electric Semiconductors. Confirm the specific suffix '4C' against official datasheets to ensure correct pinout and thermal characteristics. Check for RoHS compliance status and verify the 25-pin DMA package configuration matches the required PCB footprint.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring integrated drive and protection for small three-phase motors. The DIP packaging facilitates through-hole mounting. Ensure the system design accommodates the 15 V nominal supply voltage and 10 A current rating. Consider the thermal management requirements inherent to hybrid microelectronic assembly packages in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This IPM belongs to the PS219xx series, which includes variants like the PS21961 and PS21962-CT. These modules are designed for AC motor control applications, typically operating within AC100V to 200V inverter drives. The series emphasizes reduced design time and smaller inverter footprints compared to discrete solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other PS219xx series variants such as PS21962-CT or PS21961. Verify compatibility regarding current ratings, voltage specifications, and pin configurations before substitution. Consult official documentation for any functional differences between specific suffixes.
