Description
What It Is
-
It’s a power semiconductor module that contains IGBT transistors and free‑wheeling diodes integrated in a single package to handle high voltage and high current with efficient switching.
-
IGBTs combine the low conduction losses of bipolar transistors with the fast switching of MOSFETs — making them ideal for high‑power PWM (pulse‑width modulation) applications.
