The Reverse Conducting R5 1600 V, 30 A RC-H5 IGBTs with monolithically integrated reverse conducting diode in a TO-247 package has been optimized for the demanding requirements of Induction Cooking applications. With a monolithically integrated diode, the 1600 V RC-H5 IGBTs are perfectly suited for soft switching applications such as induction cooking stoves and inverterized microwave ovens, but are also suitable for designs which require some hard switching capabilities as well. The RC-H5 IGBT complement the previous generation of reverse conduction IGBTs and extend the performance leadership of the RC-H family, focusing on system efficiency and reliability.
