Product details
Overview
IKA08N65ET6XKSA1 from Infineon is a 650 V, 8 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT6 with integrated soft fast-recovery antiparallel Rapid diode in TO-220-3 FP package. It delivers 1.5 V typical VCE(sat), 3 µs short-circuit withstand time, and 175 °C max junction temperature-designed for motor control in air conditioning inverters and general-purpose drives.
For engineers reviewing the IKA08N65ET6XKSA1 datasheet, IKA08N65ET6XKSA1 pinout, IKA08N65ET6XKSA1 application, or IKA08N65ET6XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) stability over temperature, diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 0.15 µC @ 25 °C), gate charge (QG = 17 nC), thermal resistance (Rthjc = 5.46 K/W), and industrial qualification per JEDEC47/20/22.
Technical Context
This device integrates an IGBT and a co-packaged Rapid diode in a single PG-TO220-3 FP housing. The IGBT uses TRENCHSTOP™ 6 technology with positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution, enabling stable parallel operation. Its 17 nC gate charge and low Cies (480 pF) support high-frequency switching up to 30 kHz in hard-switched topologies.
The antiparallel diode features soft recovery (trr = 43 ns @ 25 °C), low Qrr, and negative dIrr/dt (–530 A/µs), minimizing voltage overshoot and EMI in inductive turn-off. Both devices share a common 175 °C maximum junction temperature and are qualified for industrial applications under JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKB10N65ET6 | Higher rated IC = 10 A, same VCE = 650 V, identical die technology and diode specs; larger TO-220FP package with 0.5 mm thicker leadframe. | Requires larger heatsink footprint and higher gate drive current (QG = 21 nC); suited for 10–12 A continuous loads. | Select when >8 A thermal margin is required or when upgrading legacy 10 A designs without changing board layout. |
| IKP10N65ET6 | TO-247 package variant with lower Rthjc = 3.9 K/W and higher Ptot = 42 W; otherwise identical electrical specs and diode performance. | Enables higher power density and better thermal headroom but requires different mechanical mounting and PCB cutout. | Choose for new designs targeting >30 W dissipation or where TO-220 thermal limits constrain reliability. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IKA08N65ET6XKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V DC, with transient tolerance up to ±30 V for pulses ≤10 µs and duty cycle <1%. Exceeding ±20 V continuously risks oxide breakdown; recommended gate drive is +15 V / –5 V to ensure robust turn-on and fast, controlled turn-off without Miller-induced false triggering.
Does IKA08N65ET6XKSA1 require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No, zero-volt turn-off is functional but not recommended. A –5 V gate-emitter bias during off-state improves noise immunity and prevents spurious turn-on due to dv/dt coupling. Infineon's application notes specify –5 V as optimal for stable operation in noisy inverter environments with high dv/dt across the collector-emitter terminals.
Can IKA08N65ET6XKSA1 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution (±10% VCE(sat)) enable stable current sharing without external emitter resistors. Successful parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, symmetrical PCB layout, and shared heatsink mounting to maintain ΔTj < 5 °C between devices.
What is the isolation voltage rating of the TO-220-3 FP package?
The package provides 2500 VRMS isolation between collector and mounting base for 1 minute at 50/60 Hz, verified per IEC 60747-5-2. This rating supports safe operation in Class II insulated systems and eliminates need for additional insulating hardware in standard heatsink assemblies.
