Dual Diode Isolated Module
1000 Amperes / Up to 4400 Volts
Powerex, Inc., Hillis Street, Youngwood, Pennsylvania 15697 (724) 925-7272
Description:
Powerex Dual Diode Modules are
designed for use in applications
requiring rectification and isolated
packaging. The modules are isolated
for easy mounting with other
components on a common heatsink.
Features:
Electrically Isolated Heatsinking
Compression Bonded Elements
Metal Baseplate
Low Thermal Impedance
for Improved Current Capability
Benefits:
No Additional Insulation
Components Required
Easy Installation
No Clamping Components
Required
Reduce Engineering Time
Applications:
Bridge Circuits
AC & DC Motor Drives
Battery Supplies
Power Supplies
Large IGBT Circuit Front Ends
Ordering Information:
Select the complete eight-digit
module part number from the table
below.
Example: PD414410 is a 4400 Volt,
