Infineon – Eco Block – Pressure Contact Technology

Infineon – Eco Block – Pressure Contact Technology

Reduced to pure function. With proven reliability.
In order to serve the demand for cost improvement for larger modules Infineon Technologies Bipolar has completely redesigned their 60 mm modules in Pressure Contact (PC) technology keeping their standard dimensions but being consequently driven by the design-to-cost approach to reduce the amount of material used. The new modules have been reduced to their essential functions keeping the Pressure Contact (PC) technology and their well-known reliability leading to outstanding life time.
Due to higher junction temperature the Eco Block Modules are right fit for air-cooled applications. In order to get the optimum performance and keep the production fast & clean they will be also available with Thermal Interface Material (TIM).
