Mechanical Description
The electrical terminals are secured against axial pull-out:
they are fixed to the module housing via a click-stop feature
already tested and proved as reliable on other IR modules.
The Generation V of Add-A-pak module combine the
excellent thermal performance obtained by the usage of
Direct Bonded Copper substrate with superior
mechanical ruggedness, thanks to the insertion of a solid
Copper baseplate at the bottom side of the device.
The Cu baseplate allow an easier mounting on the
majority of heatsink with increased tolerance of surface
roughness and improve thermal spread.
Electrical Description
These modules are intended for general purpose
high voltage applications such as high voltage regu-
lated power supplies, lighting circuits, temperature
and motor speed control circuits, UPS and battery
charger.
TheGenerationVofAAPmoduleismanufacturedwithout
hard mold, eliminating in this way any possible direct
stress on the leads.
