Infineon FS100R12KT4G: High-Performance 1200V IGBT Module for Industrial Drives and Power Conversion

The demand for robust, efficient, and reliable power electronics is at an all-time high, driven by the rapid evolution of industrial automation and energy infrastructure. At the heart of many advanced systems lies a critical component: the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) module. The Infineon FS100R12KT4G stands out as a premier solution in this category, engineered specifically for high-performance applications requiring superior power handling and control.

This 1200V, 100A module is designed to excel in challenging environments, particularly within industrial motor drives and high-power conversion systems. Its architecture leverages Infineon's proven IGBT4 trench-stop technology, which delivers an optimal balance between low saturation voltage (Vce(sat)) and minimal switching losses. This translates directly into higher system efficiency, reduced thermal stress, and the potential for higher switching frequencies, allowing for smaller passive components in the design.

A key feature of the FS100R12KT4G is its low-loss and soft-recovery diode co-packaged with the IGBT. This emitter-controlled diode significantly reduces reverse recovery losses and minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), a critical factor for maintaining compliance and reliability in noise-sensitive industrial settings. The module is built with low-indunce design and offers a very high maximum operating junction temperature (Tvjop) of 150°C, ensuring stable performance under heavy load conditions and enabling more compact cooling solutions.

The module’s robust construction and the use of AL2O3 (Alumina) ceramic substrates provide excellent electrical isolation and thermal cycling capability, leading to an extended operational lifetime. Typical applications where the FS100R12KT4G proves indispensable include:

AC drives and servos for industrial automation

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and inverter systems

Renewable energy infrastructure like solar inverters and wind power converters

Industrial welding equipment and heavy-duty power supplies

ICGOO

The Infineon FS100R12KT4G is a high-performance power module that sets a benchmark for efficiency and reliability in 1200V applications. Its advanced IGBT4 technology, integrated soft-recovery diode, and robust mechanical design make it an ideal choice for engineers designing next-generation industrial drives and power conversion systems where durability and efficiency are paramount.
