    bad IGBT's found again

    I bought( 5 )RJP63G4 igbt's from a guy in san jose,ca for $10.
    Thought it was a good deal untill the first one I installed fizzled and went short.
    Same for #2. I checked the remaining 3 in diode mode,and nothing!
    Checked them in resistance mode, open! How could they even short out??
    I then robbed one off another board, and replaced q661 that blew with the second one, and it works as it should.

    yeah it's makes it hard and destroys confidence

      What would you suggest to use in place of them.
      I had to use a smd one because of the thin 2011 panny.

        Don't know of anything.

        not sure if that's smd or TO220

          Panasonic TX-P42UT30E, IGBTs on the SN board
          by rivetcity
          Hi,

          I'm having problems with my plasma Panasonic p42txu32e. The issue started about 12 months ago.

          I have a remote controlled main outlet so whenever I turn off the TV set at night, I also switch off the whole power outlet.
          It gives me a better feeling to know I don't have 230V on any cables, so my dog can't get hurt if he gets the idea to start chewing on something.

          About 12 months ago the TV started to have the following problem: when pressing anything on the RC to get it on, the red led would go off.

          Sometimes it would turn...

          Samsung PL42C450 plasma X-Main IGBTs
          by Biruslapio
          Hello, the problem with this TV is it has all the Y and X voltages, but does not produce any image.

          It had a TON of cracked solder joints on these boards, fixed all that I could find, but in the last test I forgot to plug in the Y-SUS to control board flat cable, it was left dangling and possibly some pins shorted to the panel metal ground, the X-Main buzzed quietly then blew up in 3 seconds after powering up, annoying.

          Two RJH30E2 shorted, they are 360V 35A 1.7VCE IGBTs, the problem is I don't have any 360V IGBTs, only 300V or 600V, would two RJP3065 fit in? It's...

          inverter H tree driver imbalance in an AC inverter
          by eccerr0r
          My cheap crappy 1KW grid tie inverter (GTI) seems to keep blowing IGBTs. When I first got it, it had two failed IGBTs. It used four 60N100's (TO264). I bought 5 from a dubious source (fleabay) and replaced just the two that were dead. The GTI worked for almost two years but recently one of the two that I replaced failed. Since I had three spares, I replaced the dead one. Then a few weeks later it failed again. Weird. Well since I bought dubious China-sourced IGBTs from fleabay it could very well just be a mixture of fakes. I replaced it, but then a day later it failed again! I put in the last...

          Inverter Charger architecture question
          by SoulFreeze
          Hello all, I have a mastervolt charger inverter I'm trying to repair, as I have no schematics I decided to trace our some of the parts to figure out the general operation.
          I managed to trace our a rough block diagram of the power stage, and I'm quite interested in the operation.

          Here are my questions.
          I noticed there seems to be no dedicated charging section in the circuit. After some googling I assume this is what they called a bidirectional power design. Would like to know if my assumption of the operation are right.
          Given that there are no diodes. I am assuming...

          Why this UPS is using 1200V IGBTs ?
          by SistMaticZ
          Hello everybody.

          I have opened a UPS for repair today and i was surprised to see 40A 1200V IGBTs in a bridge configuration along with 2 40A 600V IGBTs. and a 75A 1200V ultra fast diode.

          The UPS has an input and output of 240 V ac .
          And using 12 Vdc 9Ah batterie totaling around 16 or 20 battery.
