Identification of the nominal turn-off current (L,,.) iS given by the first two or three digits after the prefix (x10), with the next two digits (x100) identifying the forward blocking voltage (V,,,,) the remainder of the code defining the device type and any reverse blocking voltage (V,,,,) capability. Example: a) WG5018 gives L,, = 500A & V,,.,, = 1800V b) WG15042 gives L_,,= 1500A & V,.., = 4200V Symmetrical Types These can be identified either by no suffix, or the suffix R followed by the required V,.,,. Devices with maximum V,,,, less than 2.5kV and L.., ess than 1200A are suitable for general application, offering a good on-state to switching loss relationship. Higher voltage and current devices of this type are primarily aimed at applications which require a higher V,,., rating than that offered by the Anode Shorted equivalents. Symmetrical types have a minimum V,,,,, Of 100V with a capability of up to 80% of maximum of the V._.,, for that type, if specified at time of order. Identification of required V,.,, and V...,, Example is WG50xxRxx series @) If Vey = 100V then no suffix. Example: V,,,, = 2100V & V,,.,= 100V, Type is WG5021. b) lf Ving = Vaew then just suffix R. Example: View= Very = 1900V, Type is WG5019R. C) If View # Vea > TOOV then suffix R plus Venn grade. Example: V,,,, = 2300V & V,,., 1100V, Type is WG5023R11 . High Frequency Symmetrical Types These device types are aimed at applications with switching frequencies up to 5kHz, and offer low switching losses with fast turn-off, at the cost of higher on-state losses, when compared to the standard symmetrical types. High Frequency Symmetrical types have a minimum V...,, Of 100V, with a capability of up to 80% of the maximum V.,,,,, for that type, if specified at time of order. Identification of the required blocking voltage is the same as for the standard symmetrical types, except for the addition of an F in the device code. Example: WG5021F or WG5023FR11. Anode Shorted types For general application where a series or anti- parallel diode is used. Anode Shorted devices are particularly appropriate where a high switching current or blocking voltage is required. Identification is by the suffix S, SM or SP. Example: WG8054S or WG25022SM. Notes (1) View & View available in 100V intervals. (2) V,,.may be exceeded during the turn-off avalanche period. (3) Double-side cooled, single phase; 50Hz, 180 half sinewave. (4) L,, (8.3msec) = L.,, (10msec) x 1.066 It (8.3msec) = It (10msec) x 0.943 (5) Forward gate current (I,) = 2 x I, @ 25C. (6) With RCD snubber, R = 5 ohms and C is the value as for L....,, (7) Does not include snubber discharge time; refers only to minimum time for whole device to be in conduction with anode current di/dt > 10A/us (8) Minimum time to re-fire the device. The gate drive circuit may require a longer period of low impedance operation to ensure full extraction of the tail current.
