Description

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) from International Rectifier IRGPH40M have higher usable current densities than comparable bipolar transistors, while at the same time having simpler gate-drive requirements of the familiar power MOSFET. The IRGPH40M  provides substantial benefits to a host of high-voltage, highcurrent applications.

These new short circuit rated devices are especially suited for motor control and other applications requiring short circuit withstand capability.
