Fuji Electric 6MBP160RUA060-016 | High-Density 6-in-1 PIM for Compact Motor Drives
The Fuji Electric 6MBP160RUA060-016 is an advanced Power Integrated Module (PIM) engineered to streamline the design of high-performance, space-constrained motor control systems. By integrating a three-phase converter, a three-phase inverter, and a brake chopper into a single, compact package, this module provides a robust foundation for building efficient and reliable variable frequency drives and servo systems.
- High Integration Level: Features a complete 6-in-1 configuration (rectifier + inverter + brake) that significantly reduces component count, simplifies PCB layout, and lowers assembly costs.
- Optimized Thermal Performance: Built with Fuji Electric's U-Series IGBTs, known for their low collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)), which directly translates to lower conduction losses and reduced heatsink requirements.
- Enhanced System Reliability: The monolithic design minimizes parasitic inductance between power stages, improving switching characteristics and reducing voltage overshoot. An integrated NTC thermistor allows for precise, real-time temperature monitoring to prevent thermal runaway.
- Broad Application Spectrum: Rated for 600V and 160A, it is an ideal solution for AC drives, servo drives, and general-purpose inverters in the 30-50 kW power range.
Engineering Excellence: U-Series IGBTs and Integrated Architecture
At the core of the 6MBP160RUA060-016 lies Fuji Electric's proven U-Series Trench Gate Field Stop IGBT technology. This silicon design is meticulously optimized to balance conduction and switching losses. The low VCE(sat) is a critical advantage, minimizing power dissipation during the on-state and allowing for higher operational efficiency. For design engineers, this means a smaller thermal management system, enabling more compact and cost-effective end products. The comprehensive internal architecture represents a significant leap in system integration over discrete solutions. By co-packaging the essential power stages, this PIM (Power Integrated Module) not only saves valuable board space but also inherently enhances electrical performance by reducing the stray inductance that plagues designs using separate components.

Engineer's FAQ for the 6MBP160RUA060-016
What are the key thermal management considerations for this PIM?
Due to its high power density, effective thermal management is crucial. The module's low thermal resistance (Rth(j-c)) provides an excellent thermal path from the IGBT junction to the case. A properly sized heatsink, coupled with a high-quality thermal interface material (TIM), is essential. For detailed design, it's vital to understand why Rth matters in unlocking thermal performance and to perform calculations based on expected load cycles and ambient conditions.
How does the integrated NTC thermistor benefit my design?
The built-in NTC thermistor provides a direct, real-time measurement of the module's substrate temperature. This is far more accurate than an external sensor on the heatsink. Your gate driver or system controller can use this feedback to implement crucial safety features, such as derating the output power as the temperature approaches its limit or triggering a fault shutdown to prevent catastrophic failure, thereby significantly enhancing system longevity and safety.
