The AOK40B120H1 has been designed with AOS’ patent pending AlphaIGBT™ technology platform and features industry-leading fast turn-offas well as low VCE(SAT) of 1.8V, which reduces power losses incurred during conduction and switching. Also, the 1200V minimum BVCES rating and high latch-up ruggedness enable a larger safety application design.

“The AOK40B120H1 comprehensively addresses the needs of 1200V discrete IGBT-based welding system designers. High performance such as low VCE(SAT) and low loss of turn-off switching behaviors ensure reliable and highly efficient operation, allowing designers to take advantage of cost effectiveness,” said Dr. Brian Suh, Vice President of IGBT product line at AOS. “AOS IGBTs are uniquely positioned to address customer pain points with innovative technology and solutions.”
