Product details
Overview
AUIRG4PC40S-E from Infineon Technologies is an automotive-grade n-channel Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) in TO-247AD package, rated for 600 V VCES, 60 A continuous collector current at TC = 25°C, and 1.32 V typical VCE(on) at 31 A/15 VGE. It is optimized for low-frequency switching (<1 kHz) in high-power motor drives and industrial inverters.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRG4PC40S-E datasheet, AUIRG4PC40S-E pinout, AUIRG4PC40S-E application, or AUIRG4PC40S-E equivalent, key selection criteria include clamped inductive load capability (120 A), avalanche energy rating (15 mJ), thermal resistance (0.77 °C/W J-to-C), gate charge (100–150 nC), and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This Generation 4 IGBT features tighter parameter distribution and higher efficiency than prior-generation devices, with a dedicated clamped inductive load test circuit supporting 120 A pulse current under defined L/R conditions. Its gate threshold voltage (3.0–6.0 V) and negative temperature coefficient (−9.3 mV/°C) enable stable parallel operation across temperature.
The device integrates internal emitter inductance (13 nH) and exhibits low output capacitance (140 pF at 30 V), enabling predictable turn-off behavior in hard-switched topologies. Thermal design is supported by validated transient impedance curves and a flat-case mounting interface with 0.24 °C/W case-to-sink resistance on greased surfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - maximum blocking voltage for 600 V DC bus applications |
| IC @ TC = 25°C | 60 A - continuous conduction capability with heatsink at ambient temperature |
| VCE(on) typ. | 1.32 V @ 31 A, 15 VGE, 25°C - low conduction loss enabling >98% inverter efficiency at rated load |
| Qg | 100–150 nC - gate drive energy requirement defining driver sizing and switching speed trade-offs |
| RθJC | 0.77 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance used to calculate max allowable power dissipation at given TC |
| EARV | 15 mJ - repetitive avalanche energy rating supporting unclamped inductive turn-off robustness |
| fmax (opt.) | <1 kHz - recommended maximum operating frequency due to tail current and switching loss profile |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AD is a through-hole, isolated-tab power package with three terminals: Gate (G), Collector (C), and Emitter (E). The tab is electrically connected to the Collector and must be mounted to a heatsink with insulated hardware or dielectric pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Control terminal requiring ±20 V absolute max drive; 100–150 nC total gate charge defines driver strength needs |
| C | Collector | Main high-side power terminal; electrically tied to metal tab-requires isolation from heatsink unless system ground referenced |
| E | Emitter | Power return path and reference for gate drive; internal 13 nH inductance affects turn-on dI/dt and Miller effect |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Generation 4 IGBT architecture | Tighter VCE(on) and gfe distribution improves batch-to-batch consistency in production motor control modules |
| Automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) | Validated for under-hood environments including −40°C to +150°C junction operation and mechanical shock/vibration compliance |
| Optimized for <1 kHz operation | Minimizes tail current losses in traction inverters, UPS systems, and welding equipment where high peak current dominates |
| Lead-free TO-247AD package | Enables RoHS-compliant assembly while maintaining legacy footprint compatibility with Gen 3 IR equivalents |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRGP4062D | Same TO-247AD package, 600 V/60 A rating, but Gen 3 design with higher VCE(on) (1.5 V typ.) and lower Qg (85 nC) | Limited to ≤85°C case temperature for full 60 A rating; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and efficiency gains |
| STGW40H60DLF | 600 V/40 A, TO-247 package, trench-gate field-stop IGBT with 1.7 V VCE(on) and 110 nC Qg | Lower current rating requires paralleling for 60 A designs; qualified to AEC-Q101 but not identical footprint | Choose for space-constrained designs needing automotive grade but accepting reduced single-device current capacity |
Compared with IRGP4062D and STGW40H60DLF, AUIRG4PC40S-E delivers superior conduction efficiency (1.32 V vs. ≥1.5 V), verified automotive qualification, and higher clamped inductive current capability-making it optimal for thermally constrained, safety-critical 60 A inverter legs.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-to-emitter voltage for AUIRG4PC40S-E?
The absolute maximum continuous gate-to-emitter voltage is ±20 V. Exceeding this rating risks permanent gate oxide damage. Gate drive circuits must limit transient overshoot using clamping diodes or active regulation, especially during fast turn-off with high dV/dt across the collector-emitter path.
Can AUIRG4PC40S-E be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its negative gate threshold voltage temperature coefficient (−9.3 mV/°C) promotes current sharing across parallel devices. Successful paralleling requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical layout, and individual gate resistors to suppress oscillation; thermal coupling between devices must also be minimized.
Is a freewheeling diode required externally?
No-the device does not integrate an anti-parallel diode. An external ultrafast or soft-recovery diode must be connected in anti-parallel to handle inductive load current during turn-off. Diode selection must match the IGBT's 120 A clamped inductive current rating and 600 V blocking capability.
What is the meaning of "A" in the date code marking "YWWA"?
The "A" in the YWWA marking denotes automotive-grade qualification and lead-free finish. It distinguishes AUIRG4PC40S-E from commercial-grade variants (e.g., IRG4PC40S) and confirms compliance with AEC-Q101 stress testing and Pb-free soldering process requirements.
