TRENCHSTOP 5 WR6 Family in TO-247-3-HCC Package for Power Factor Correction and Welding Applications

Infineon Technologies AG introduces the new 650 V TRENCHSTOP 5 WR6 family which comes in a TO-247-3-HCC package and offers a broad portfolio comprising 20A, 30A, 40A, 50A, 60A and 70A current ratings. The TRENCHSTOP 5 WR6 switches provide very low conduction losses (30A, 1.45V at 25°C) and lowest switching losses (30A, 1.55mJ at 175°C). The family is optimized for power factor correction (PFC) for residential and commercial air conditioning systems and also for welding applications.

The TRENCHSTOP 5 WR6 switches feature a very low saturation voltage of 1.45V and a monolithically integrated diode with optimized forward voltage for the target applications which enables a low BOM cost. The new TO-247-3-HCC housing of the WR6 family increases the creepage and clearance distances thus improving the isolation voltage rating. With this, the product family enables more reliable system designs that are resistant against contamination and condensation. The TRENCHSTOP 5 WR6 reduces the total cost of ownership with less failure rate while it also enables a higher switching frequency in the application.
