The IXTH24N65X2 is a Discrete Semiconductor Module (DiscMSFT NChUltraJnctn X2Class) manufactured by IXYS. It is a three-terminal, high-voltage, ultrafast power switching device with an improved cell design. It is designed for what is called “ruggedized” hard-switching applications which means it is designed to withstand the stress from high voltage switching cycles, transients, and the load applied by a switching device. It is packaged in a convenient, hermetic TO-247AD package. This package can be used with a variety of other packages for a complete machine design. The IXTH24N65X2 has a rated voltage of 650 Volts, a current rating of 24 Amps, and it can handle up to a 75 Amp surge peak. The IXTH24N65X2 is ideal for use in application such as motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies, DC/DC converters, and other hard-switching applications.
