(1) Discharge any static electricity by grounding through a high-capacity resistor, and use a conductive mat that has been grounded
(2) Hold the package body without directly touching the IGBT module terminals (especially control terminal)
(3) Ground tools such as a soldering tip, at an adequately low resistance
(4) Protect a control terminal using conductive material such as IC foam
For details, refer to Application Manual Chapter 3-2.

-
What are countermeasures against static electricity when an IGBT module is used?
-
Is there any quick way to determine the quality of IGBT before mounting?
You can verify the IGBT by checking the leakage current between G and E, and C and E, using a transistor curve tracer (CT). Simple failure diagnosis can also be done using a voltage, resistance tester in place of a CT. For details, refer to Application Manual Chapter 4-2.
-
What is the piece of black sponge pinned on the module terminals?
The piece of black sponge is attached for protection. Please keep the sponge on the module at the time of storage.
-
Are there any measures to prevent misfiring by high dv/dt during the reverse recovery of the FWD?
Some of the ways to prevent misfiring of an IGBT are as follows:
(1) by adding a capacity component CGE to the area between the gate and emitter
(2) by increasing –VGE
(3) by increasing gate resistance (RG)
The effectiveness of these measures will vary depending on the applicable gate circuit, so please verify thoroughly before applying them. For details, refer to Application Manual Chapter 7-1.4. -
What do we need to be aware of when soldering an IGBT module?
Avoid soldering under excessive temperature. Soldering condition have to be within specification value. It may result in package degradation. Please contact Fuji Electric Corp. of America or your local sales representative or distributor to answer your question.
-
How do I store semiconductor devices?
The desired storage environment has a temperature range of 5 to 35oC, and humidity range of 45% to 75%. Avoid storage under load, and secure a location with little temperature fluctuation. For details, refer to Application Manual Chapter 3-8.
