- *Solution*: Use thermal interface material with thermal resistance <0.1°C/W
- *Implementation*: Calculate junction temperature using Tj = Ta + (P × Rth(j-a))
Mounting Pressure Problems
- *Pitfall*: Uneven mounting pressure causing thermal hotspots
- *Solution*: Apply 15-20 N·m torque using calibrated torque wrench
- *Implementation*: Use spring washers and follow manufacturer's mounting sequence
Overcurrent Protection
- *Pitfall*: Insufficient protection during fault conditions
- *Solution*: Implement fast-acting fuses (6000A interrupt rating)
- *Implementation*: Coordinate fuse I²t rating with diode surge capability
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Gate Driver Compatibility
- Not applicable (passive device) but consider:
- Parallel operation requires current sharing resistors
- Snubber circuits for voltage spike suppression
Control Circuit Integration

- Consider electromagnetic interference on sensitive control signals
Power Supply Coordination
- Match with appropriate capacitors (DC-link and snubber)
- Coordinate with IGBT modules in inverter applications
- Ensure busbar compatibility for high-current paths
### PCB Layout Recommendations
