Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced it will start shipping samples of ten new models of its industrial-use NX-type 1.2kV insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module on a sequential basis from June 15, 2026. The modules are equipped with the latest eighth-generation IGBTs and are designed for use in inverters that control machine tools, industrial robots, and large-capacity motor drive systems. Compared to existing IGBT modules, they reduce power loss by up to approximately 19%, which decreases power consumption in industrial equipment.
Mitsubishi Electric optimized the IGBT and diode layout to add a new 1000A-rated model. This new model has a rating 1.25 times higher than current models while using the same package size, enabling higher inverter output. The continued use of the Industrial NX-type package supports easy replacement of existing modules and helps shorten development periods for new inverters.
The company will exhibit the NX-type 1.2kV IGBT module at Power Conversion Intelligent Motion (PCIM) Expo & Conference 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany, from June 9 to 11, 2026, as well as at upcoming exhibitions in Japan, China, and other countries.
