Climatic conditions during active, current carrying operation of EasyPIM™ and EasyPACK Modules
Application Note 28 V2.2, 2015-02
14 Climatic conditions during active, current carrying operation of
EasyPIM™ and EasyPACK Modules
EasyPIM™ and EasyPACK modules are not hermetically sealed. The housings and the molding
compound, used for the electrical isolation within the housing, are permeable for humidity and gases in
both directions. Therefore humidity differences will be equalized in both directions.
Corrosive gases must be avoided during operation and storage of the devices.
The climatic conditions for Infineon EasyPIM™ and EasyPACK modules in active, current carrying
operation are specified as per EN60721-3-3 class 3K3 for fixed installations.
The operation of the modules in humid atmosphere caused by condensation and/or the operation in
climatic conditions beyond class 3K3 of EN60721-3-3 must be avoided and additional
countermeasures need to be taken in such cases.
