Vincotech has released Press-fit versions of its flowPIM power modules. Enabling easy and reliable mounting of power modules on PCBs, the Press-fit modules have the same footprint as Vincotech’s standard solder pin versions. Soldering is no longer necessary, since the power modules with press-fit technology are mechanically pressed in.

Vincotech’s standard flowPIM 0, flowPIM 1 and flowPIM 2 power modules feature a 3-phase input rectifier, 3-phase output inverter, brake chopper and supplementary thermistor for temperature sensing (PIM topology). These modules are now available with Press-fit pins, providing the same features as the standard-pin versions.

The footprint is pin compatible with the solder-pin versions, so the same board layout can be used when standard soldered modules are replaced by Press-fit modules. The flowPIM power modules with Press-fit technology are a solution for standard motor drives, servo drives and embedded drives. These power modules are in regular production; samples can be ordered via standard sales channels.
