Who is POWEREX ?

POWEREX Europe
POWEREX Europe Le Mans

Powerex Europe, the only French manufacturer of high power semiconductors, is based in Le Mans

The company in Le Mans can be proud of its origins and its know-how. Among its forefathers, it counts some very large electronics groups: General Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, Alsthom.

The former brake and signal company Westinghouse moved its power converter and power semiconductor activities from Paris to Le Mans in the 1960s. The merger of Westinghouse, General Electric and Mitsubishi Electric in the 1980s created the American brand Powerex. The unit in Le Mans, renamed POWEREX Europe S.A., was bought in 1994 by an industrialist from northern France and became POWEREX Europe Manufacturing and Assembly. It was integrated into the federation of companies specialized in electronics developed by this industrialist who employs more than 1,900 people for a turnover of more than 140 million euros.

Advantages of POWEREX Europe

One of its strengths is its flexibility, which makes Powerex more inclined to work on customized products, small series, that the large manufacturers do not cover. In the aviation and military sectors, for example, we have won contracts because we were able to respond to the need to customize products. Together with our customers, we also solve their problems related to the obsolescence of components from other manufacturers. Finally, we attach great importance to providing our customers with impeccable service, especially in terms of quality and meeting deadlines.

In cooperation with its customers, POWEREX Europe is able to propose and develop specific products to meet special needs, such as:

♦ railroad / military / aviation / industrial applications.

♦ Customer specific identification (marking).

♦ Mechanical: non-standard dimensions, specific housings, custom wires and terminals

♦ Robustness

♦ Reduced mass

♦ Additional electrical tests (non-standard)

♦ Connection (wires, braids, wires...)

♦ Couplings for series and/or parallel connection

♦ PV of measurements

POWEREX IGBT
POWEREX SIC

SiC Modules / IGBT/HVIGBT

♦ Powerex IGBT/HVIGBT series uses Carrier Stored Trench-Gate Bipolar Transistor (CSTBT) technology, which provides the reduced power loss and miniaturization required for industrial applications.

♦ Powerex HVIGBTs and HV diodes feature highly insulating packages that provide enhanced protection through increased creepage and clearance for many demanding applications, such as medium voltage drives and auxiliary traction applications.

♦ Full SIC & Hybrid SIC IGBTs  

POWEREX CUSTOM MODULES

Customer-specific diodes and thyristors

POWEREX custom modules meet your specific needs:

By complementing Mitsubishi's range of HVIGBT modules.

(Mitsubishi chips otherwise associated).

♦ HVIGBT Lineup.

♦ Military / Aero

♦ End of life solutions

In the vast majority of cases, we can solve your aging problem by mechanically and electrically (if necessary) adapting our standard products to your needs.
