SEMiX^® 3 Press-Fit

SEMiX^® 3 Press-Fit Benefits

The concept of SEMiX 3p is a 17mm height module. Press-fit contacts allow a gate driver to mount directly on top of the module. Therefore, there is no risk of noise on wires or loose connectors. Compact, state-of-the-art inverter construction is possible thanks to the slim package and separated AC and DC screw terminals.

Auxiliary contacts avoid solder joints, instead using highly reliable press-fit contacts. This leads to increased product reliability and lifetime. Press-fit contacts allow fast and easy production, optimized through uniform direction of assembly, reducing manufacturing costs.

Select SEMiX 3p modules have optional built-in shunt resistor for measuring the AC current, accessible via press-fit pins. This allows the footprint and main connections to remain identical to the standard module, while eliminating the need for current sensors. Integrating the current monitoring into the power module reduces inverter volume and decreases system costs. Additionally, reducing components in the inverter enhances the FIT rate.
