Product Description
The Powerex CM150DY-12H is a high-performance, dual IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) module engineered for high-power switching applications. Configured as a "Half-Bridge," it integrates two N-channel IGBTs, each paired with a discrete super-fast recovery freewheeling diode.
Although the CM150DY-12H is officially discontinued and obsolete, it remains a critical component for the maintenance and repair of legacy industrial systems. Its insulated baseplate and robust H-Series design make it a reliable choice for demanding thermal environments.
