Power modules keep their cool
Isolated power modules are designed for PCB soldering and use baseplate-free technology to guarantee high reliability and isolation with the lowest overall thermal resistance
Semikron has introduced Semitop 4, the most powerful member of its Semitop family of isolated power modules. These modules are designed for PCB soldering and use baseplate-free technology to guarantee high reliability and isolation with the lowest overall thermal resistance. Mounting is simple and fast, using single-bolt fixing to the heatsink, followed by soldering to the PCB.
