Start providing samples of the "J1 series" of power semiconductor modules for automobiles 


Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will begin providing two samples of the new series of power semiconductor modules for automobiles, the J1 series, starting from September 30th. This series of products is equipped with 6-unit IGBT and is mainly used for driving electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) motor inverters.

In addition, the product will be exhibited at the PCIM ※ 1 Europe 2013 exhibition (held in Nuremberg, Germany from May 14-16).

Characteristics of the new product

1.6-in-1 packaging design promotes miniaturization of vehicle inverters

Compared with the previous three 2-in-1 products, the installation area of the 6-in-1 product (117.0 × 113.0mm) has been reduced by about 80%, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of the inverter.

※ 2 Compared to J series T-PM ※ 3 (2-in1 type) "CT600DJH060" (height 64.0 × width 84.0mm) installed with 3 intervals of 2mm

※ 3 Transfer molded Power Module: Die cast power semiconductor module

2. To contribute to the low power consumption and high reliability of vehicle inverters

The 6th generation IGBT with CSTBTTM ※ 4 structure is configured, and the saturation voltage between the collector and emitter is reduced by about 15% compared to our previous product ※ 5, which helps to reduce power consumption.

The direct water cooling structure with integrated cooling improves the heat dissipation performance by 40% compared to our previous products, contributing to the miniaturization and high reliability of car inverters.

※ 4 Carrier Stored Trench Gate Bipolar Transistor: Carrier Storage Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor

Compared to the J-series T-PM (2-in1 type) "CT600DJH060"

When installing the J-series T-PM (2-in1 type) "CT600DJH060" on an aluminum heat sink with thermal grease, the thermal resistance between the chip and the cooling water is compared.

Purpose of providing samples

With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, the market demand for EVs and HEVs is gradually expanding. Due to the high safety requirements for automobiles, power semiconductor modules used for driving automotive motors are also required to have reliability beyond ordinary industrial use. Our company is leading the industry and began mass producing power semiconductor modules for automobiles in 1997. Our products are widely used in various EV · HEV vehicles.

This time, our company has started to provide two samples of the new series of power semiconductor modules for EV · HEV, which are from the new series "J1 series" using a new type of micro packaging. To contribute to further promoting the miniaturization, low power consumption, and high reliability of motor inverters for EV and HEV. This product is scheduled to start mass production in 2015.
