 SKiM® 63/93
The most important feature for the automotive module is the reliability.
Due to new thermal interface material with 20% improvement in
thermal resistance and AlCu-bonded diodes with higher current load
capacity the new SKiM-module can achieve an improvement of up
to 23% with the same chip set and same lifetime or twice the power
cycling capability in comparison to standard sinter modules!

Benefits Product range

The SKiM63/93 modules can increase the reliability of inverters
by several factors, even under substantial active and passive
temperature swings. In addition to sintered chips, pressure
contacts and springs technologies with AlCu-bonded diodes
and high performance thermal grease the SKiM63/93 module
shows a performance improvement of up to 23.3% for transient
currents with the same chip set and the same lifetime than
standard sinter modules.
The SKiM 63/93 offers 3-phase inverter topologies at 600V,
1200V and 1700V. The power ranges from 20kW to 180kW with
nominal currents of 300A to 900A. Modules in buck and boost
configuration for 1200V, 600A complete the portfolio.
Driver solutions are available as well as an optimised water
cooler for fast and customer friendly evaluation. In addition,
paralleling boards for a simple and powerful half-bridge
configuration are also available.

Applications
The SKiM 63/93 is designed for applications that require high
inverter reliability. First of all this applies, of course, to auto-
motive applications such as electric powertrains in electric
utility vehicles, heavy-duty construction machinery and
tractors, or even provide leading-edge performance in super
sports and race cars. w
