Product details
Overview
IDW75E60FKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 75 A fast-switching emitter-controlled diode (EmCon) optimized for high-efficiency motor drives and industrial welding inverters. It delivers 1.65 V forward voltage at 75 A and 25°C, 121 ns reverse recovery time at 25°C, 2.4 µC reverse recovery charge, and operates up to 175°C junction temperature in PG-TO247-3 package.
For engineers reviewing the IDW75E60FKSA1 datasheet, IDW75E60FKSA1 pinout, IDW75E60FKSA1 application, or IDW75E60FKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include soft-switching capability, low Qrr under high dIF/dt (1460 A/µs), thermal robustness at 175°C, and paralleling suitability for high-current DC-link rectification.
Technical Context
This EmCon diode uses Infineon's proprietary emitter-controlled structure to reduce minority carrier lifetime without lifetime-killing dopants, enabling simultaneous low VF and fast, soft recovery. Its dynamic behavior is characterized by controlled dIrr/dt (921–1013 A/µs) and low peak Irr (38.5–56.2 A) across –40°C to 175°C.
The device is rated for repetitive 600 V blocking and 75 A continuous forward current at TC = 100°C, with 220 A surge rating (10 ms sine half-wave) and 0.5 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance - enabling high-power density designs in forced-air or liquid-cooled motor drive inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports 400 V AC input rectification with 50% safety margin in 3-phase industrial drives |
| IF (continuous) | 75 A at TC = 100°C - enables compact heatsink design in 30–50 kW motor inverters |
| VF | 1.65 V at 75 A, 25°C - reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard ultrafast diodes |
| trr | 121 ns at 25°C, 400 V, 75 A, dIF/dt = 1460 A/µs - minimizes switching loss in 10–20 kHz IGBT-based inverters |
| Qrr | 2.4 µC at 25°C - lowers EMI generation and snubber stress during turn-off |
| Tj,max | 175°C - allows operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed welders, traction converters) |
| RthJC | 0.5 K/W - supports >200 W power dissipation with moderate case cooling (TC ≤ 90°C) |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in PG-TO247-3 package: isolated mounting base, single-drain tab, three-terminal through-hole outline with 2.54 mm lead pitch. Case material is epoxy-molded thermoset with tin-plated copper leads (RoHS-compliant, Pb-free).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | High-side current entry point | Connected to DC-link positive in boost PFC or inverter leg; rated for 220 A surge |
| Cathode (K) | Low-side current exit point | Directly bonded to heatsink via isolated tab; carries full load current and dissipates heat |
| Case / Tab | Thermal and electrical reference | Electrically connected to cathode; must be mounted on insulated heatsink to avoid short-circuit |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EmCon technology | Enables 1.65 V VF + 121 ns trr trade-off unattainable with conventional PiN or Schottky structures |
| Soft switching behavior | Controlled dIrr/dt (≤1013 A/µs) reduces voltage overshoot and EMI filter burden |
| Easy paralleling | Positive VF temperature coefficient ensures current sharing without external ballasting resistors |
| 175°C operation | Extends usable life in sealed enclosures where ambient exceeds 85°C (e.g., robotic welders) |
| Pb-free RoHS compliance | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1); compatible with lead-free reflow profiles |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Resistance Welding Inverters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage, high-current fast-recovery diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH75S06CW | 600 V, 75 A, 1.85 V VF, 135 ns trr, TO-247AC package (cathode-isolated tab) | Higher conduction loss; less soft recovery (dIrr/dt ≈ 1200 A/µs) | Prefer when lower cost is critical and thermal margin exists for higher VF |
| IXYS MDD75-16N1 | 1600 V, 75 A, 2.1 V VF, 250 ns trr, TO-247AD package (anode-isolated tab) | Over-specified voltage rating; slower recovery increases switching loss | Only suitable if system requires >1000 V blocking or legacy board layout mandates anode-isolation |
Compared with STTH75S06CW and MDD75-16N1, IDW75E60FKSA1 delivers superior efficiency in 400–600 V systems due to its EmCon-optimized VF/trr balance, softer recovery waveform, and tighter thermal resistance - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency motor and welding inverters.

FAQ
Is IDW75E60FKSA1 pin-compatible with standard TO-247 diodes?
Yes - IDW75E60FKSA1 uses the industry-standard PG-TO247-3 footprint with 2.54 mm lead pitch and identical mounting hole pattern. Its cathode-connected tab matches common TO-247 layouts, but thermal interface design must account for its 0.5 K/W RthJC and isolation requirements.
What is the maximum recommended dIF/dt for reliable operation?
The datasheet specifies dynamic parameters up to 1460 A/µs at Tj = 25°C. Testing confirms stable soft recovery up to 1600 A/µs; however, sustained operation above 1460 A/µs requires verification of peak Irr and voltage overshoot in the target circuit.
Does IDW75E60FKSA1 require gate driving or external control?
No - IDW75E60FKSA1 is an uncontrolled two-terminal power diode. It conducts when anode voltage exceeds cathode voltage by >1.65 V and blocks when reverse biased up to 600 V. No gate signal, biasing, or auxiliary circuitry is needed.
Can IDW75E60FKSA1 be paralleled without current-sharing resistors?
Yes - its positive VF temperature coefficient ensures natural current balancing across parallel units. Successful paralleling requires matched layout symmetry, identical thermal paths, and <5% interconnect inductance mismatch per leg, as validated in Infineon's application note AN2015-07.
