Orientation of High and Low Side Gates

in General

Our application for a CGD1200HB2P-BM2 requires us to fit into a confined space. With our existing design it would help if it was possible to modify the High and low side gates to orient the gate driver perpendicular to a CAS120M12BM2. So I was wondering if the Gates have a specific name that I could look for an adapter to achieve this or it almost looks like a re-solder of the gates could orient them correctly with the existing holes.

    Hey Anthony,

    The gate pins on the CAS120M12BM2 are a standard 0.110" tab. Unfortunately, we do not have a drop in adapter or connector to allow for vertical mating on with the CGD1200HB2P-BM2.

    You could look into using Keystone electronics 3557, or 3545. It would require some modification but may allow you to keep moving forward.
