Semikron Danfoss at PCIM Europe 2024

The SEMITRANS 20 product family increases product lifetime and power output. Multiple chip sources provide the highest supply chain safety. SEMITRANS 20 modules deliver significant advantages on the high-power inverter market:

• A simplified inverter design leads to reduced costs for mounting materials as well as in the inverter assembly process
• Sintered die attachment provides high-end reliability
• More space for driver boards and less magnetic field disturbance from high current bus bars to the driver
• Three AC terminal connectors for low operating temperatures even at high loads
• Less derating at parallel operation thanks to the low-inductance bus bar layout and the extremely low module inductance
• Ideal for cost-effective inverter design and scaling

 On top of this, the SEMITRANS 20 TRACTION module provides additional innovative technologies such as AlCu wire bonds, Si3N4 ceramics and AlSiC baseplate. This takes reliability and power density to new levels, resulting in:

• Superior product lifetime
• Lower cost per kW
• Smaller volume per kW

A True Alternative to Generation 7 IGBTs for Industrial Motor Drives
