The Infineon IM818SCCXKMA1 is a three-phase IGBT inverter module from the CIPOS MAXI IM818-SCC series, rated at 1.2 kV collector-emitter voltage and 8 A continuous collector current. It integrates six IGBTs with freewheeling diodes in a 3-phase inverter configuration, packaged in a 24-PowerDIP through-hole module measuring 1.205" x 30.60 mm. The 2500Vrms isolation rating between the power stage and the control pins makes it suited for motor drives, UPS systems, and industrial power converters where galvanic isolation is required for safety and noise immunity.
Package and mounting — the board-level fit decision
The 24-PowerDIP module with through-hole pins is a self-contained power stage that simplifies layout — no separate gate resistors or bootstrap diodes to route for the high-side drives. The 1.205" body width and 30.60 mm length define the keep-out zone; plan for adequate creepage clearance to the 1.2 kV rail. The through-hole pins handle the 8 A current without additional heatsinking on the PCB traces, but the module's baseplate needs a thermal interface to a heatsink for continuous 8 A operation.
Lifecycle and compliance — no end-of-life concern for new designs
The ROHS3 compliance covers the full bill of materials within the module, including the solder joints and potting compound.
