Adopting TO-247-3-HCC package
Increase the insulation voltage rating by increasing the creepage distance
Trenchstop 5 WR5 product line replacement


Infineon Technologies AG today announced the launch of its new 650 V TRENCHSTOP™ 5 WR6 family. The new family is available in the TO-247-3-HCC package and offers current ratings of 20 A, 30 A, 40 A, 50 A, 60 A, and 70 A.

It is a replacement for TrenchStop 5 WR5, HighSpeed 3 and other competitive products and is suitable for PFC in residential/commercial air conditioning systems and welding applications.

It features low conduction losses of 30A at 1.45V at 25°C and the lowest switching losses of 30A at 1.55mJ at 175°C, a low saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) of 1.45V, a monolithic integrated diode and application-optimized forward voltage.

The TO-247-3-HCC package increases creepage and clearance distances, resulting in higher insulation voltage ratings. This allows for the design of robust systems against contamination and moisture, common in air conditioner outdoor units. Furthermore, the lower failure rate allows for higher switching frequencies.
