About this manual

The IRK.41 and IRK.56 series are high‑voltage industrial power modules offered in a TO‑240AA package. They are intended for regulated power supplies, lighting, motor‑speed control, UPS and battery‑charger applications. The modules feature a thick aluminum metal die, double‑stick bonding and a copper baseplate for improved thermal spread and easy mounting on heatsinks.

Key specifications include a maximum reverse voltage of 1600 V, average on‑state currents of 45 A (IRK.41) and 60 A (IRK.56), junction‑to‑case thermal resistance of 0.46 K/W (IRK.41) and 0.40 K/W (IRK.56), and an operating temperature range from –40 °C to 125 °C. Detailed electrical, thermal and mechanical data are provided for design and reliability analysis.
