IGBT Snubber Capacitors for Power Electronics from A@rovox’ Group an ISO 9002 Company Why use Snubber Capacitors? With che evolution of power technology, new higher speed Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTS) make ie possible for high power inverters to operate up to 20 kHz or more. IGBIs ate replacing the slower Darlington transistors, simplifying circuit design and reducing end product cost. IGBT power modiles are now being designed into AC and DC motor drive inverters, uninterruptible power systems, electric vehicles and alternative energy production Power systems containing IGBTs must be designed so the transient voltage caused by the high difde that occurs at g turn off is minimized. Left uncontrolled, this transient voltage can exceed the blocking voltage rating of the IGBT and cause it to fail. To reduce the transient voltage, cither difde or the parasitic D inductance of the power circuit must be reduced. This is best achieved by decoupling the parasitic bus inductance using a non-inductive wound film capacitor mounted as neat as possible o the IGBT module's terminal * Low inductance to 12 nanoHenries * High DV/ DT * Low ESR * Low loss polypropylene dielectric + UL 94 V-O flame retardant case and resin * Terminals ict mount to IGBT Unique dual in-line package (DIP) Radial wire lead Enhanced solderability (Mil-Std 202 F, Method 208 G) Snubber capacitors, constructed of polypropylene film dielectric and dual metallized film electrodes, are the optimal capacitor design for IGBT applications. While film/foil capacitors are ofien used because of their superior current carrying capability, they ail in a short circuit mode which may cause damage to the IGBT module. Aerovox’s snubber capaci- tors combine high current carrying capability with low inductance, low dielectric losses, and capacitance stabil iryacrossa wide frequency range. They offer the self-healing property of metallized film (not failing in a shore circuit mode) with the high peak current carrying capability (dv/de) of film/fol construction. Acrovox's snubber capaci- tors, manufactured with polypropylene film and dual metallized electrodes, available with direct IGBT module terminals, radial wite leads, or a unique printed circuit board dual in-line pin mount, provide the highest clectrical performance of any snubber capacitors, currently available Aerovox® Group 740 Belleville Avenue, New Bedford, MA 02745-6194 TEL (608) 994-9661 FAX (608) 999-1000IGBT SNUBBER CAPACITORS for Power Electronics General Description Dielectric: Polypropylene fim with self-healing dual metalized electrodes, Enclosure: UL 94 V-0 flame retardant rectangular plastic case and resin, Marking: ink stamped with Aerovox, part number, capacitance value, nominal DC voltage, and date code, at a minimum.
