Infineon FS300R12KE3_S1: High-Performance 1200V IGBT Module for Industrial Drives and Power Conversion
The relentless pursuit of higher efficiency, power density, and reliability in industrial automation and energy conversion drives the continuous innovation in power semiconductor technology. At the forefront of this evolution is the Infineon FS300R12KE3_S1, a 1200V IGBT module engineered to set new benchmarks in performance for demanding applications such as industrial motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), solar inverters, and industrial welding systems.
This module integrates a robust IGBT7 chip technology, which represents a significant leap forward from previous generations. The core of its superiority lies in its dramatically reduced VCE(sat) (saturation voltage), which directly translates to lower conduction losses. Simultaneously, the IGBT7 technology achieves an optimized trade-off with exceptional switching performance, minimizing switching losses even at higher operating frequencies. This dual reduction in losses is paramount for achieving higher system efficiency, which can lead to reduced energy consumption and cooler operating temperatures, thereby enhancing overall system longevity.
Designed for high-power applications, the module boasts a substantial nominal current rating of 300A. This high current capability, combined with the 1200V blocking voltage, makes it an ideal choice for three-phase inverter systems operating at common DC-link voltages up to 680V. The module’s construction ensures low inductive and thermal resistance, promoting stable operation under heavy load conditions.
Beyond raw switching characteristics, the FS300R12KE3_S1 is built for ruggedness and durability. It features a very high short-circuit withstand time (tsc) of 10µs, providing a critical safety margin for control circuits to react and protect the system in fault conditions. Furthermore, the advanced .XT interconnection technology enhances the power cycling capability, making the module exceptionally resilient against the thermal mechanical stress caused by constant temperature fluctuations—a common challenge in industrial environments.
The package is optimized for easy integration, featuring a low-inductance design and the industry-standard EconoDUAL™ 3 footprint. This allows designers to upgrade existing systems or develop new platforms without significant mechanical redesign, accelerating time-to-market.
ICGOODFIND: The Infineon FS300R12KE3_S1 stands as a pinnacle of power module design, leveraging state-of-the-art IGBT7 technology to deliver an unrivaled combination of low losses, high current density, and superior robustness. It is a transformative component for engineers aiming to push the boundaries of efficiency and power in next-generation industrial drives and power conversion systems.
