Product details
Overview
IDW100E60FKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 100 A fast-switching emitter-controlled diode in PG-TO247-3 package, designed for high-efficiency power conversion in industrial inverters and welding equipment. It delivers 1.65 V forward voltage at 100 A and 25°C, 120 ns reverse recovery time at 25°C, 3.6 µC reverse recovery charge, and operates up to 175°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the IDW100E60FKSA1 datasheet, IDW100E60FKSA1 pinout, IDW100E60FKSA1 application, or IDW100E60FKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include soft switching behavior, low Qrr, thermal robustness at 175°C, and compatibility with parallel operation in high-current motor drive DC-link circuits.
Technical Context
This emitter-controlled diode uses Infineon's proprietary Emitter Controlled (EC) technology to achieve fast, soft reverse recovery with minimal tail current-enabling reduced switching losses and EMI in hard-switched IGBT-based inverters. Its low dIrr/dt (750 A/µs at 25°C) and controlled Irr (49.5 A peak) support stable commutation in high-dI/dt environments.
The device features a thermally optimized PG-TO247-3 package with 0.40 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling high-power dissipation (375 W at TC = 25°C) while maintaining safe junction temperatures under sustained 100 A conduction and repetitive surge conditions (400 A, 10 ms).
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - blocks full DC-link voltage in 400–600 V industrial inverters without derating |
| IF (continuous) | 100 A @ TC = 100°C - supports sustained output current in motor drives and welders |
| VF | 1.65 V @ 100 A, 25°C - reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard FREDs at same rating |
| trr | 120 ns @ 25°C, 400 V, 100 A, dIF/dt = 1200 A/µs - enables >20 kHz switching with low turn-off loss |

Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Resistance Welding Equipment |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Three-phase inverter stage in 75–150 kW AC servo drives operating at 8–16 kHz PWM frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in IGBT half-bridge leg, providing low-loss commutation path during dead-time and regeneration. Use Value: 120 ns trr and soft recovery reduce voltage overshoot across IGBTs, lowering snubber requirements and improving system efficiency by 0.8–1.2%. | Use Scenario: Primary-side rectification and freewheeling in medium-frequency (1–4 kHz) inverter-based spot welders with 50–100 kA secondary current pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current DC-link diode handling repetitive 400 A surge currents and rapid polarity reversal during weld cycles. Use Value: 400 A non-repetitive surge rating and 175°C Tj,max ensure reliability under extreme thermal cycling and short-circuit stress. |
| UPS Systems | Induction Heating Inverters |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional DC-link clamping in online double-conversion UPS with active PFC and IGBT output stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamping diode absorbing reactive energy during line transients and battery-mode transitions. Use Value: Low reverse leakage (<40 µA at 25°C) prevents standby power loss; soft recovery avoids false triggering of overvoltage protection. | Use Scenario: Resonant tank freewheeling in 20–50 kW solid-state induction heating systems operating at 10–50 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency freewheeling diode in series-resonant inverter leg, conducting high di/dt currents with minimal ringing. Use Value: Controlled dIrr/dt (750 A/µs) and low Qrr suppress parasitic oscillation, improving coil coupling efficiency and reducing EMI filter size. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage, high-current freewheeling diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS MDD100-16N1 | 1600 V VRRM, 100 A IF, 2.1 V VF, 250 ns trr - higher voltage rating but slower and higher loss | Suitable for 1200 V DC-link systems; less efficient in 600 V welders due to higher conduction and switching loss | Select when higher blocking voltage is required and thermal margin permits higher VF penalty |
| STMicroelectronics STTH100L06TV1 | 600 V VRRM, 100 A IF, 1.85 V VF, 180 ns trr, no EC technology - higher Qrr (6.2 µC) | Acceptable in lower-frequency (<10 kHz) motor drives; not recommended for high-dI/dt welding or resonant heating | Choose only if cost is primary constraint and soft recovery is not critical to system EMI or efficiency targets |
Compared with MDD100-16N1 and STTH100L06TV1, IDW100E60FKSA1 provides superior soft switching, lowest Qrr, and highest thermal capability-making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-reliability 600 V industrial inverters where switching loss and thermal management are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current at 100°C case temperature?
The IDW100E60FKSA1 supports 96 A continuous forward current at TC = 100°C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat transfer efficiency at elevated case temperatures and ensures safe operation within the 175°C maximum junction limit under steady-state conduction.
Does this diode require a gate resistor or external control signal?
No. The IDW100E60FKSA1 is a two-terminal uncontrolled power diode with no gate terminal or control interface. It operates solely based on forward bias voltage polarity and current direction, functioning as a passive freewheeling or clamping element in converter topologies without any drive circuitry.
Can IDW100E60FKSA1 be paralleled with identical units without external balancing components?
Yes. Its matched dynamic parameters (trr, Qrr, VF) and low thermal resistance (0.40 K/W) enable stable current sharing across parallel units under both static and transient conditions, eliminating the need for series gate resistors or current-sharing inductors in properly laid-out PCBs with symmetrical thermal paths.
What is the reverse recovery charge at 175°C junction temperature?
At Tj = 175°C, VR = 400 V, IF = 100 A, and dIF/dt = 1200 A/µs, the reverse recovery charge Qrrm is 7.8 µC. This value is 117% higher than the 25°C value (3.6 µC), reflecting increased minority carrier lifetime at elevated temperature-a critical parameter for loss calculation in high-temperature operation.
