MiniSKiiP®
Scalable without compromise
MiniSKiiP® Benefits
The unique mechanical design offers outstandingly easy assembly and service friendly spring contact technology. Opposed to conventional solder or press-fit modules with specific equipment required (automated presses, wave-soldering machine), no dedicated tools are needed for MiniSKiiP assembly. Instead, one or two screws connect everything from driver to heatsink.
Assemble the printed circuit board (PCB), power module and heatsink in one mounting step. For higher flexibility, the PCB does not need holes for solder pins or press-fit connections. The springs connecting the PCB and power circuitry are far superior to soldered joints, increasing lifetime under thermal or mechanical stress. Thanks to the high mechanical pressure provided by the springs, achieve an airtight, reliable electrical connection.

MiniSKiiP® Applications
With two decades of field experience and more than 50 million modules in the field, this module platform has proven successful in all standard applications. Key applications include motor and servo drives, solar inverters with 1000VDC and 1500VDC, UPS systems and welding machines. Thanks to the excellent reliability of spring contacts, applications such as agricultural vehicles or yaw and pitch drives in wind turbines benefit from MiniSKiiP technology as well.
MiniSKiiP® Product Range
The MiniSKiiP portfolio ranges from 600V to 1700V and 4A to 600A nominal chip currents. Along with the consolidated IGBT3 and IGBT4 portfolio, the latest IGBT Generation 7 and Silicon Carbide components are also equipped.
Motor drive topologies (CIB/sixpack/twelvepack/half-bridge) and accompanying full-, half- and un-controlled rectifiers and choppers.
NPC and symmetrical boost topologies for UPS applications, based on fast-switching 650V IGBTs and diodes, enable increased power density up to 100kVA.
Additionally, the latest chip technology, such as hybrid silicon carbide power modules, push the efficiency and power density to even higher levels. For fast evaluation, test PCB boards are available for most power modules. All power modules are also available with pre-applied High Performance Thermal Paste, a benchmark thermal interface material.
