Product details
Overview
IHW40N60RFKSA1 from Infineon is a reverse-conducting IGBT (RC-IGBT) in the Resonant Switching Series, designed for soft-switched resonant converters. It delivers 600 V VCE, 40 A IC, 1.65 V VCE(sat) at Tvj = 25°C, and operates up to 175°C junction temperature in PG-TO247-3 package - enabling high-efficiency induction cooking and inverterized microwave oven power stages.
For engineers reviewing the IHW40N60RFKSA1 datasheet, IHW40N60RFKSA1 pinout, IHW40N60RFKSA1 application, or IHW40N60RFKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its monolithic body diode with low VF, positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient for parallel operation, low EMI profile, and JESD-022 qualification for industrial power control.
Technical Context
This RC-IGBT integrates a co-packaged, low-VF body diode optimized exclusively for soft commutation - not hard-switched freewheeling. Its TRENCHSTOP™ process ensures tight parameter distribution and ruggedness across temperature.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient in VCE(sat) (1.65 V @ 25°C → 2.10 V @ 175°C), enabling stable current sharing in paralleled configurations. Dynamic performance includes 223 nC total gate charge and 0.75 mJ turn-off energy at 25°C under standardized inductive load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 600 V - supports 400 V DC-link resonant converters with 50% voltage margin |
| IC | 40 A continuous - rated for sustained conduction in 2–100 kHz induction heating stages |
| VCE(sat) | 1.65 V @ Tvj = 25°C - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 40 A, critical for thermal management |
| Tvj(max) | 175 °C - allows operation in sealed, high-ambient industrial enclosures without derating |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.49 K/W - permits direct heatsink mounting with ≤150 W dissipation before thermal throttling |
| QG | 223 nC - determines gate driver strength requirement (≥2 A peak for 100 ns switching) |
| Eoff | 0.75 mJ @ 25°C - quantifies switching loss contribution in ZVS/ZCS topologies |
Pinout & Package
PG-TO247-3 package with isolated tab (collector-connected), standard three-terminal layout for high-power discrete mounting and thermal interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side power terminal | Connected to heatsink tab; carries full load current and withstands 600 V blocking |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Receives ±20 V logic-level drive; 223 nC charge requires low-inductance gate loop |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common source for IGBT and integrated diode; defines switching node potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Monolithic body diode | Low 1.65 V forward drop at 40 A enables efficient soft recovery without external diode |
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | Ensures natural current balancing in paralleled IGBTs without external ballasting resistors |
| Low EMI signature | Controlled dV/dt and diode softness reduce conducted noise in EMI-sensitive kitchen appliances |
| JESD-022 qualification | Validated for long-term reliability in industrial power control environments with thermal cycling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar reverse-conducting IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW40N60H3 | Higher VCE(sat) (1.85 V), lower QG (170 nC), same 600 V/40 A rating | Better suited for higher-frequency (>200 kHz) hard-switched PFC stages | Select when gate drive power budget is constrained and soft-switching margin is reduced |
| IRGP4062DPBF | Standard IGBT + separate diode; no monolithic integration; VF = 2.2 V at 40 A | Requires external diode layout and increases layout complexity | Choose only if legacy design mandates discrete diode placement or thermal separation |
Compared with IKW40N60H3 and IRGP4062DPBF, IHW40N60RFKSA1 uniquely combines monolithic diode integration, lowest VF/VCE(sat), and soft-recovery optimization - making it the preferred choice for resonant topologies where diode reverse recovery stress must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate-emitter voltage for reliable operation?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V per datasheet Rev. 2.6. For robust long-term operation, Infineon recommends limiting gate drive to +15 V / –5 V, as higher positive voltage increases leakage and accelerates gate oxide degradation. Gate drive circuits must include clamping to prevent overshoot beyond ±16 V during switching transients.
Does the integrated body diode support hard-switched freewheeling?
No - the monolithic diode is explicitly designed for soft commutation only. Its softness and low VF are optimized for ZVS/ZCS transitions. Hard-switched operation causes excessive diode reverse recovery stress and premature failure, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the datasheet.
How does thermal resistance differ between IGBT and diode sections?
Both IGBT and diode share identical Rth(j-c) = 0.49 K/W, as they reside on the same die and use the same thermal path to the TO247 case. This symmetry simplifies thermal modeling and ensures matched junction temperature rise under combined conduction modes.
Is the PG-TO247-3 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the device uses Pb-free lead plating and is fully RoHS compliant, as stated in the "Features" section of the datasheet. The package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and is qualified for wave soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds at 1.6 mm from case.
