Mitsubishi Electric Develops HVIGBT Module X-Series New Dual
Next-gen high-power semiconductor module adopts standardized package for more flexibility

TOKYO, April 6, 2016 – Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it hasdeveloped a next-generation power module called X-Series New Dual HVIGBT module for traction andelectric power applications in heavy industries. The new module features higher power density andefficiency for inverters, as well as a standardized package that allows for a flexible design of inverter
systems.
Samples of the 3.3kV (LV100) version of the New Dual module will be available for shipping from March2017. That will be followed by 1.7kV, 3.3kV (HV100), 4.5kV and 6.5kV versions in that order from 2018
onwards. The company also plans to add a lower-than 1.7kV version to the lineup in the future.
The modules will be exhibited at major trade shows including MOTORTECH JAPAN 2016 during
TECHNO-FRONTIER 2016 in Japan from April 20 to 22, Power Conversion Intelligent Motion (PCIM)
Europe 2016 in Nuremberg, Germany, from May 10 to 12, and PCIM Asia 2016 in Shanghai, China, fromJune 28 to 30.

High-power modules are key devices for controlling power conversion in electronic systems in a wide rangeof power classes from several kilowatts up to several megawatts. Until now, modules with a maximum
voltage rating of up to 6.5kV and a maximum current rating of several thousand amperes have beencommercially available.

The New Dual HVIGBT module will satisfy demand for efficient, high power density semiconductor
devices with a range of current and voltage ratings, while contributing to higher power output and efficiency
in inverters by adopting the latest seventh-generation IGBTs and RFC diodes. Meanwhile, the standardized
package dimensions will allow manufacturers of industrial electronics to simplify design and secure multiple
sources for inverters.
Product Features
1) Contributing to high energy efficiency and high power density- The seventh-generation IGBTs adopting CSTBTTM and RFC diodes realize low power loss ininverter systems.
- Improved package technology and low parasitic inductance enable maximum performance.
- Three AC main terminals on the LV100 package spread and equalize current density, contributing toincreased inverter capability.
2) Common frame size supports more diverse inverter configurations and capacity- LV100 and HV100 modules have a common package design.
- Simple, standard connections allow for optimal system design and a range of current ratings.
- Lineup ranges from 1.7 to 6.5kV.
- Improved flexibility and scalability for system configuration.
3) Contributing to higher design efficiency by the use of a standardized new package- Compatible with terminal and attachment locations of Infineon Technologies AG (Germany)
products.
