Power modules for automobiles must deliver higher reliability than industrial-use modules due to the extremely high standards for vehicle safety. Mitsubishi Electric pioneered the mass production of power modules for hybrid vehicles in 1997, and since then the demand for these modules has grown in parallel with the expanding global market for electric and hybrid vehicles. The new J1-Series power modules feature compact package with small footprint, low power loss and high reliability for use in the inverters of electric and hybrid vehicles. Mass production is expected to begin in 2015.

Sample Products

Series	Model	Specifications	Saturation Voltage (Typ, Ic=Ratings, Tj=25℃)	Start of Sample Shipments
J1-Series	CT600CJ1A060	650V/600A (6-in-1 package)	1.4V	Sep. 30, 2013
	CT400CJ1A090	900V/400A (6-in-1 package)	1.7V

Features of Sample Products

1)	Extra-compact package for automotive inverters - 6-in-1 package design shrinks inverter footprint to about 80% of three 2-in-1 J-Series T-PM (CT600DJH060) design.
2)	Low power loss and high reliability for automotive motors - 6th Generation CSTBTTM chip technology enables collector-emitter saturation voltage to be reduced by about 15% compared to 2-in-1 J-Series T-PM (CT600DJH060) chips. - Direct cooling package with cooling fin improves heat radiation by about 40% compared to 2-in-1 J-Series T-PM (CT600DJH060) mounting power modules on Al fin by way of thermal grease.
