Insulated gate bipolar transistor trench designed specifically for TIG welding machines

Stocked by Digi-Key, the Vishay Semiconductor Diodes' VS-GP250SA60S is designed specifically for TIG welding machines. Built on Vishay’s proprietary Trench PT IGBT technology, it has extremely low collector-to-emitter voltages down to 1.10V and turn-off switching energy down to 11mJ for output inverter stages. Applications include output inverter stages for TIG welding machines. It has a smaller size than planar IGBTs for higher current density and lower thermal resistance (junction-to-case) without compromising on performance. Turn-off switching energy is 50% lower than previous-generation devices for increased efficiency and long-term reliability. The device has a dual INT-A-PAK package that features an extremely low profile of 17mm.
