Power module for driving inverters for home appliances and industrial motors.

Detailed equipment data

Materials: Effective use of resources
  • Use of a high heat dissipation insulation structure achieved a reduced junction temperature rise in power chips. This allowed for a smaller package and led to a significant reduction (about 40%) of the mounting area on the PCB compared to our current products.
Energy: Efficient use of energy
  • By integrating a full-gate CSTBT™*, which is one of Mitsubishi Electric's advanced IGBTs, electric power consumption in the system was reduced.
    *CSTBT: Carrier Stored Trench Gate Bipolar Transistor
Toxicity: Avoidance of substances that are potentially harmful to the environment
  • Introduction of lead-free process for soldering power chips and plating outer terminals realized all lead-free products (RoHS compliant).

Note

Awarded the 52nd Okochi Prize
(Production award)

At the 52nd (2006) Okochi Prize ceremony held on March 14, 2006, the Dual Inline Package-type Intelligent Power Module (DIP-IPM) developed by Mitsubishi Electric's Power Device Works was awarded the Okochi Memorial Foundation Manufacturing Prize for the development and production of a transfer mold intelligent power module. In making its decision, the selection committee praised the development of a highly reliable, low-cost part using a transfer mold to unify multiple power chips, comprising inverter power circuits, with controller ICs. The DIP-IPM is being adopted increasingly for use in not only major appliances using inverters but also for induction heating devices and in the industrial devices market.
