The trick is to find an IGBT with the same or better volts and amp specs and the same mounting "footprint " It gets trickier if the signal cables for the trigger are in one connector so the lug pattern has to match. I had to do it on a Pick and Place machine about a year ago. Figuring out the control wires was the hardest part. If you can get a spec sheet on the one that is in there it will go a long ways in finding a replacement. If there are two replace them both.
