PS22052 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PS22052 is an Intellimod™ series Power Driver Module featuring integrated gate driver and protection circuits for three-phase IGBT applications. This module operates at 1.2 kV with a 5 A current rating and is housed in a 28-PowerDIP package measuring 1.882" (47.80mm). The PS22052 is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PS22052 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: 1.2 kV (exact match required)
• Current Rating: 5 A (exact match required)
• Configuration: 3 Phase (exact match required)
• Isolation Voltage: 2500VDC (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Device Type: IGBT Power Driver Module (exact match required)

The PS22A72 meets all substitution criteria. While the package footprint differs (42-PowerDip Module vs. 28-PowerDIP Module), both modules maintain identical electrical specifications and isolation characteristics. The PS22A72 is manufactured by the same supplier (Powerex Inc.) and operates within the same functional parameters, making it a valid electrical equivalent despite the physical package change.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PS22A72 serves as the direct electrical equivalent for the obsolete PS22052. Both modules are manufactured by Powerex Inc. and share identical electrical specifications across voltage, current, isolation, and configuration parameters. The PS22A72 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The primary design consideration is the package footprint change from 28-PowerDIP to 42-PowerDip. This difference requires PCB layout modification and mechanical verification of mounting clearances. The PS22A72 maintains the same through-hole mounting technology, allowing for straightforward mechanical adaptation in existing designs.

The PS22A72 carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing environmental compliance advantages over the original PS22052 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PS22A72 directly replace the PS22052 without circuit modification?

A: The PS22A72 is electrically equivalent and requires no circuit modifications. However, the different package footprint (42-PowerDip vs. 28-PowerDIP) necessitates PCB layout changes and mechanical verification of mounting hole spacing and clearances.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two modules?

A: The electrical specifications are identical. The PS22A72 uses a larger 42-PowerDip package (1.404" vs. 1.882") and is currently in active production, whereas the PS22052 is obsolete.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the package change?

A: Both modules use through-hole mounting technology. PCB redesign is required to accommodate the different pin configuration and physical dimensions of the 42-PowerDip package. Verify mounting hole spacing and component clearances before implementation.

Q: Does the PS22A72 meet the same isolation requirements?

A: Yes. Both modules provide 2500VDC isolation voltage, meeting identical isolation specifications.

Q: Is the PS22A72 suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The PS22A72 is in active production status and carries RoHS Compliant certification, making it suitable for new product development and long-term supply chain planning.
