IR Introduces Proprietary Plastic Packaged Motor Inverter Modules that Deliver High Reliability in Airborne Motor Control Systems
The new modules come with IR's proprietary plastic package sealing method to protect components from environmental conditions. They are designed to enhance three phase motor control circuits in electro-hydrostatic applications (EHA) such as critical flight controls for aircraft; aircraft braking and refueling systems, electric vehicle motor control, and ground vehicle power generation systems.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – November 2005 – International Rectifier, IR®(NYSE: IRF), today introduced two new near-hermetic, high-reliability (HiRel™) motor control inverter modules with IR's proprietary plastic package sealing method to protect components from environmental conditions designed to enhance three phase motor control circuits in electro-hydrostatic applications (EHA) such as critical flight controls for aircraft; aircraft braking and refueling systems, electric vehicle motor control, and ground vehicle power generation systems.
The IGBT modules use an encapsulation process that protects circuitry from the harmful effects of moisture, and are screened to the stringent environmental test conditions of MIL-PRF-38534, Class H. Components screened in accordance with these specifications meet the high reliability requirements demanded by the defense contractors supplying to commercial OEMs in vital safety applications and the US Military.
