Product details
Overview
IKA15N60TXKSA1 from Infineon is a 600V, 15A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT with integrated Emitter Controlled HE diode in PG-TO220-3 (FullPAK) package, designed for high-efficiency motor drives and inverters. It delivers 1.5V typical VCE(sat) at 25°C, 175°C maximum junction temperature, 5µs short-circuit withstand time, and low EMI-enabling compact, thermally robust air conditioning inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IKA15N60TXKSA1 datasheet, IKA15N60TXKSA1 pinout, IKA15N60TXKSA1 application, or IKA15N60TXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) stability over temperature, diode reverse recovery performance (trr = 34 ns @ 25°C), thermal resistance (RthJC = 4.2 K/W), and gate charge (Qgate = 87 nC) for optimized switching loss trade-offs.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs TRENCHSTOP™ and Fieldstop technology to achieve tight parameter distribution and high ruggedness at 600V blocking voltage. Its positive temperature coefficient in VCE(sat) enables inherent current sharing in parallel configurations, while the integrated soft-recovery anti-parallel diode reduces voltage overshoot and EMI during commutation.
The device is characterized for inductive switching at VCC = 400V, IC = 15A, and Tj up to 175°C, with turn-off energy of 0.47 mJ and total switching energy of 0.81 mJ under hot conditions-supporting high-frequency operation in variable-speed drives with controlled thermal rise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE Rating | 600 V - supports DC-link voltages up to 400 V in single-phase and three-phase inverters with margin |
| IC Continuous | 15 A @ TC = 25°C - defines steady-state conduction capability with thermal derating above 25°C case temperature |
| VCE(sat) | 1.5 V (typ.) @ Tj = 25°C - enables low conduction loss and reduced heatsink requirements in 1–20 kHz motor drive applications |
| tSC | 5 µs @ VGE = 15 V, Tj ≤ 150°C - provides robust short-circuit protection window for fault detection and shutdown |
| RthJC | 4.2 K/W (IGBT), 4.8 K/W (diode) - determines junction-to-case thermal path efficiency for PCB-mounted heatsinking |
| Qgate | 87 nC @ VGE = 15 V - sets gate driver power requirement and influences switching speed vs. EMI trade-off |
| trr (diode) | 34 ns @ Tj = 25°C - ensures fast, soft reverse recovery to minimize voltage spikes and snubber losses |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-3 (FullPAK) - insulated plastic housing with isolated collector tab, enabling direct mounting to heatsink without additional isolation hardware.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Gate (G) | Control input for IGBT channel | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal; requires low-inductance gate loop and 15 V ±10% drive for full saturation |
| Emitter (E) | Common emitter node for IGBT and diode | Reference point for gate drive and load current return; carries both IGBT and diode forward/reverse current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) with positive tempco | 1.5 V typ. @ 25°C, rising to 1.9 V @ 175°C - enables stable parallel operation and predictable thermal runaway margin |
| Integrated soft-recovery HE diode | trr = 34 ns @ 25°C, Qrr = 0.24 µC - reduces diode-induced voltage overshoot and eliminates need for external fast diode |
| JEDEC-qualified ruggedness | Rated for >1000 short-circuit events with ≥1 s interval - supports reliable field operation in overload-prone HVAC systems |
| Low EMI design | Controlled dV/dt and soft switching transitions - minimizes conducted noise and simplifies EMI filter sizing in Class B consumer inverters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT-in-DuoPack applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKB15N60T | Same die, but PG-TO263-3 (D²PAK) package; RthJC = 4.5 K/W (IGBT) | Requires surface-mount PCB layout and reflow assembly; lower mechanical robustness in high-vibration environments | Select when automated SMT production is prioritized over field-serviceability and heatsink-mount flexibility |
| IKP15N60T | Same specs, but PG-TO247-3 package; RthJC = 0.45 K/W (IGBT) | Higher thermal performance but larger footprint and higher cost; needs through-hole mounting and larger heatsink clamp | Select when maximum power density and junction temperature margin are required in high-ambient industrial enclosures |
Compared with IKB15N60T and IKP15N60T, IKA15N60TXKSA1 offers optimal balance of thermal performance (RthJC = 4.2 K/W), mechanical serviceability (TO-220 screw-mount), and cost-making it preferred for mid-volume HVAC inverter manufacturing where manual heatsink attachment and repairability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IKA15N60TXKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V DC. Operation beyond ±15 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Gate drive circuits must limit transient overshoot using clamping diodes or RC snubbers, especially during high-di/dt switching events in inductive loads.
Does IKA15N60TXKSA1 require an external freewheeling diode?
No. The device integrates an Emitter Controlled HE diode with soft, fast recovery (trr = 34 ns @ 25°C). This diode is co-packaged and electrically matched to the IGBT, eliminating the need for discrete antiparallel diodes in standard inverter topologies.
How does junction temperature affect VCE(sat) in this IGBT?
VCE(sat) increases with junction temperature due to its positive temperature coefficient: from 1.5 V (typ.) at 25°C to 1.9 V at 175°C. This behavior improves current sharing in parallel configurations and provides inherent thermal stability against runaway.
Is IKA15N60TXKSA1 compatible with standard TO-220 heatsinks?
Yes. Its PG-TO220-3 (FullPAK) package uses an insulated collector tab compatible with standard TO-220 mounting hardware. No additional insulating washer is needed between tab and heatsink, simplifying thermal interface design and reducing thermal resistance by ~0.5 K/W versus non-insulated variants.
