Market Applications:

Output inverter stages for TIG welding machines
The News:
Vishay Intertechnology introduces four new half-bridge and single-switch IGBT power modules
designed specifically for TIG welding machines. Built on Vishay’s proprietary Trench PT IGBT
technology, the VS-GP100TS60SFPBF, VS-GP250SA60S, VS-GP300TD60S, and VS-GP400TD60S
provide extremely low collector-to-emitter voltages down to 1.10 V and turn-off switching energy down
to 11 mJ for output inverter stages.
 Smaller size than planar IGBTs for higher current density and lower thermal resistance (junctionto-case) without compromising on performance
 Low collector-to-emitter voltage enables extremely low conduction losses
 Turn-off switching energy is 50 % lower than previous-generation devices for increased efficiency
and long-term reliability
 Dual INT-A-PAK package features an extremely low profile of 17 mm
 Low EMI reduces snubbing requirements
