Product details
Overview
AOKS40B65H1 from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 650V, 40A discrete IGBT in TO-247 package, optimized for high-frequency switching in power factor correction and solar inverters. It features 1.9V VCE(sat) at TJ=25°C, 63nC total gate charge, and 0.46mJ turn-off energy at 175°C with 7.5Ω gate resistor.
For engineers reviewing the AOKS40B65H1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include short-circuit ruggedness (5µs, 256A), soft turn-off behavior, EMI performance, and thermal resistance of 0.5°C/W junction-to-case - critical for compact, high-efficiency industrial converters.
Technical Context
The AOKS40B65H1 implements Alpha's αIGBT technology with controlled di/dt during turn-on and low tail current during turn-off, enabling high-speed operation without excessive voltage overshoot. Its dynamic parameters are characterized under inductive load conditions at VGE=15V, VCC=400V, IC=40A, and RG=7.5Ω across TJ=25°C to 175°C.
It supports short-circuit withstand capability up to 5µs at VGE=15V and VCC≤300V, with maximum junction temperature rated at 175°C. The device exhibits 129pF output capacitance (Coes) and 64pF reverse transfer capacitance (Cres) at VCE=25V, contributing to predictable switching behavior in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE Rating | 650V breakdown voltage - enables use in 400V DC bus systems with 50% voltage margin for transients |
| IC (TC=100°C) | 40A continuous collector current - defines thermal design basis for heatsink sizing at 100°C case temperature |
| VCE(sat) (TJ=25°C) | 1.9V saturation voltage - sets conduction loss floor of ~76W at 40A, directly impacting efficiency in PFC stages |
| Eoff (TJ=175°C) | 0.46mJ turn-off energy - determines switching loss contribution in high-frequency inverter designs above 20kHz |
| RθJC | 0.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance - allows direct calculation of junction temperature rise above heatsink temperature |
| tSC | 5µs short-circuit withstand time - defines minimum fault-clearing window for protection circuitry in UPS and welding applications |

Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247 (3-pin, straight lead, isolated tab). Thermal pad electrically connected to collector (C). Mounting screw hole centered on tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Left) | Collector (C) | Main high-side power terminal; electrically tied to metal tab - requires isolation from heatsink unless system ground referenced |
| Pin 2 (Center) | Gate (G) | Control input; sensitive to ESD and ringing - requires low-inductance gate resistor (7.5Ω typical) and local decoupling |
| Pin 3 (Right) | Emitter (E) | Power return path and gate reference; must be low-impedance connection to source of gate driver and sense resistor |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN40N60B3 | 600V rating, higher VCE(sat) (2.2V), slower tf (30ns vs. 14ns) | Limited to ≤400V DC bus; less suitable for high-frequency PFC where softness and speed matter | Prefer AOKS40B65H1 when 650V margin, lower losses, or tighter EMI control are required |
| Infineon IKP40N65ES5 | 650V rating, higher Eoff (0.72mJ), larger RθJC (0.65°C/W) | Higher thermal resistance demands larger heatsink; elevated switching loss reduces efficiency above 25kHz | Choose AOKS40B65H1 for space-constrained, high-efficiency designs needing <0.5°C/W thermal path |
Compared with IXGN40N60B3 and IKP40N65ES5, the AOKS40B65H1 delivers superior high-frequency performance via lower VCE(sat), faster fall time, and softer turn-off - directly enabling smaller magnetics, reduced EMI filtering, and higher power density in PFC and inverter stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for AOKS40B65H1?
The AOKS40B65H1 has an absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage (VGE) of ±30V. Operation beyond this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15V for turn-on and –5V to –10V for turn-off to ensure robust noise immunity and prevent unintended conduction. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the official AOS datasheet Rev. 1.0.
Does AOKS40B65H1 include an integrated anti-parallel diode?
No, the AOKS40B65H1 is a discrete IGBT without an integrated freewheeling diode. External diode selection - such as a fast-recovery or SiC Schottky - must be made based on application requirements including reverse recovery Qrr, forward voltage, and thermal coupling. The datasheet explicitly references "diode (AOK40B65H1) reverse recovery" in switching energy notes, confirming separate diode usage.
What is the short-circuit withstand capability of AOKS40B65H1?
The AOKS40B65H1 supports short-circuit operation for up to 5µs at VGE=15V, VCC≤300V, and TJ≤175°C, with a peak short-circuit current of 256A. This is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated in Figure 11–17 switching characterization. Exceeding 5µs or applying >300V during fault increases risk of irreversible failure.
Can AOKS40B65H1 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, AOKS40B65H1 supports paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat), which promotes current sharing across devices. Successful implementation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and individual gate resistors. Thermal coupling between devices must also be minimized to avoid thermal runaway - verified in AOS application note AN-9003 for Alpha IGBT paralleling guidelines.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for AOKS40B65H1 in a 20kHz solar inverter application?
For a 20kHz solar inverter application, a gate resistor of 7.5Ω is recommended - matching the test condition used in the datasheet's switching parameter tables (e.g., tD(off), Eoff). This value balances switching loss (0.46mJ Eoff) and EMI control. Lower values increase di/dt and EMI; higher values raise losses. Layout parasitics must be minimized regardless of RG choice to maintain stability.
