The Powerline range of high power modules includes dual
and single switch configurations covering voltages from 1200V to
3300V and currents up to 4800A.
The GP2401ESM18 is a single switch 1800V, n channel
enhancement mode, insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)
module. Designed with low V
CE(SAT)
to minimise conduction
losses, the module is of particular relevance in low to medium
frequency applications. The IGBT has a wide reverse bias safe
operating area (RBSOA) ensuring reliability in demanding
applications. This device is optimised for traction drives and
other applications requiring high thermal cycling capability.
The module incorporates an electrically isolated base plate
and low inductance construction enabling circuit designers to
optimise circuit layouts and utilise grounded heat sinks for safety.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses above those listed under 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' may cause permanent damage to the device. In extreme
conditions, as with all semiconductors, this may include potentially hazardous rupture of the package. Appropriate safety
precautions should always be followed. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Ratings may affect device reliability.
