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 1.10 V and turn-off switching energy down to 11 mJ for output inverter stages. Applications include output inverter stages for TIG welding machines.

Features and Benefits

• Standard speed Trench PT IGBT
• Smaller size than planar IGBTs for higher current density and lower thermal resistance (junction-to-case) without compromising on performance
• Fully isolated package
• Low collector-to-emitter voltage enables extremely low conduction losses
• Very low internal inductance ≤ 5 nH typical
• Turn-off switching energy is 50% lower than previous-generation devices for increased efficiency and long-term reliability
• Industry standard outline
• Dual INT-A-PAK package features an extremely low profile of 17 mm
• UL approved file E78996
