The IRKL250-16 is a high-current, high-voltage IGBT module manufactured by International Rectifier (IR), rated for 250A continuous collector current and 1600V collector-emitter voltage. Built for rugged industrial environments, this module integrates insulated gate bipolar transistor technology optimized for low switching losses and high thermal efficiency. Its robust construction and isolated base plate make it well-suited for high-power inverter and converter topologies where reliability, switching performance, and thermal management are critical design considerations.

The IRKL250-16 is widely deployed in AC and DC motor drives, regenerative braking systems, UPS and energy storage inverters, induction heating equipment, traction control systems, and medium-voltage power conversion platforms. Its high blocking voltage of 1600V provides the headroom required for three-phase industrial bus voltages with appropriate safety margin. Engineers specifying this module can expect consistent gate drive compatibility and drop-in replacement capability within existing IR-based power stage designs across a broad range of industrial and infrastructure applications.

Key Features of the IRKL250-16:

• 1600V VCES rating provides robust voltage headroom for three-phase 690V AC bus applications
• 250A continuous collector current supports high-power motor drive and converter output stages
• Low saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) minimizes conduction losses in high-duty-cycle switching operation
• Isolated copper base plate construction enables direct heatsink mounting with improved thermal interface performance
• Optimized IGBT cell technology balances switching speed and turn-off losses across the full operating temperature range
• Compatible with standard IR gate driver ICs and reference drive circuits, simplifying drop-in replacement in existing designs

With a factory lead time of 99 weeks on new production, the IRKL250-16 presents a significant procurement challenge for maintenance teams dealing with unplanned failures and for OEMs managing production schedules. International Rectifier's consolidation into Infineon has further complicated availability for legacy part numbers in this voltage and current class. ATI Accurate Technology specializes in exactly this scenario — maintaining inventory of hard-to-find, long-lead-time, and obsolete power semiconductors so your line stays running and your project stays on schedule without waiting nearly two years for factory fulfillment.

ATI Accurate Technology is located in Palmetto, Florida and ships same-day on orders placed before 5PM EST.
