Product details
Overview
IKA15N65ET6XKSA1 from Infineon is a 650 V, 15 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT6 with integrated soft-fast antiparallel Rapid diode in PG-TO220-3 FP package. It delivers 1.5 V typical VCE(sat), 3 µs short-circuit withstand time, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature-designed for motor control stages in inverter-based home appliances.
For engineers reviewing the IKA15N65ET6XKSA1 datasheet, IKA15N65ET6XKSA1 pinout, IKA15N65ET6XKSA1 application, or IKA15N65ET6XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) stability over temperature, diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 0.21 µC typ.), gate charge (QG = 37 nC), thermal resistance (Rthjc = 4.3 K/W for IGBT), and industrial qualification per JEDEC47/20/22.
Technical Context
This device integrates an IGBT and a co-packaged Rapid diode on a single die substrate within a TO-220-3 FP housing. The IGBT uses TRENCHSTOP™ 6 technology for low conduction loss and positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient, enabling parallel operation without current imbalance.
The antiparallel diode features soft, fast recovery (trr = 69 ns typ. at 25 °C) and low Qrr, minimizing switching losses and voltage overshoot during turn-off in hard-switched inverter topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 650 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 400 V DC bus systems with 50% safety margin. |
| IC | 15 A rated continuous collector current - supports 1–2 kW motor drives at 100 °C heatsink temperature. |
| VCE(sat) | 1.5 V (typ. at 11.5 A, 25 °C) - reduces conduction loss to ~17 W at full load, easing thermal design. |
| tSC | 3 µs - enables robust short-circuit protection using standard gate driver desaturation detection. |
| QG | 37 nC - allows efficient 15 V gate drive with moderate RG values (e.g., 47 Ω), balancing speed and EMI. |
| Tvjmax | 175 °C - extends lifetime under high ambient or transient overload conditions in sealed enclosures. |
| Rthjc (IGBT) | 4.3 K/W - defines minimum heatsink requirement: ~10 K/W total system Rthja needed for 34 W dissipation at 25 °C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-3 FP - insulated case, 3-pin through-hole package with isolated collector tab (pin 2), emitter (pin 1), and gate (pin 3). Mounting torque: 0.5 Nm (M3 screw).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | IGBT emitter terminal | Low-inductance return path for main power current; connects to source of driving MOSFET stage or DC link negative. |
| Pin 2 (Collector) | IGBT collector / Diode cathode | High-side switching node; electrically isolated metal tab carries full load current and must be thermally coupled to heatsink. |
| Pin 3 (Gate) | IGBT gate control input | High-impedance CMOS-compatible input requiring <100 nA leakage; sensitive to ESD and layout-induced ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very low VCE(sat) | 1.5 V typ. at 11.5 A ensures <18 W conduction loss at rated current, reducing heatsink size by ~30% vs. older IGBT6 generations. |
| Soft, fast recovery antiparallel diode | Qrr = 0.21 µC (25 °C), trr = 69 ns - suppresses voltage spikes and EMI during freewheeling, eliminating need for external snubbers in GPD inverters. |
| Short-circuit ruggedness | 3 µs withstand time at VCC ≤ 360 V and Tvj = 150 °C - enables reliable desaturation-based protection without external current sensors. |
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | VCE(sat) rises with temperature (1.75 V at 150 °C) - provides inherent current sharing when paralleling multiple devices. |
| JEDEC industrial qualification | Validated per JEDEC47/20/22 - guarantees reliability for 10+ year field life in air conditioning and washing machine motor drives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT + antiparallel diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKB15N65ET6 | PG-TO263-3 (D2PAK) package; identical electrical specs but surface-mount; Rthjc = 4.5 K/W. | Requires PCB space and thermal vias instead of mechanical heatsink mounting; better for automated assembly. | Select for SMT production lines where board-level thermal management is preferred over discrete heatsinks. |
| IKP15N65ES5 | Legacy TRENCHSTOP™ 5 generation; higher VCE(sat) (1.6 V typ.), slower diode (trr = 100 ns), no JEDEC industrial validation. | Suitable only for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications with lower efficiency targets. | Choose only if legacy design reuse or BOM consolidation outweighs 8–10% higher conduction loss and reduced ruggedness. |
Compared with IKB15N65ET6 and IKP15N65ES5, IKA15N65ET6XKSA1 offers superior thermal performance in through-hole form factor, JEDEC-certified industrial reliability, and lowest combined switching-conduction loss among Infineon's 650 V/15 A offerings.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IKA15N65ET6XKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V DC, with transient tolerance up to ±30 V for pulses ≤10 µs. Exceeding ±20 V continuously risks oxide breakdown and irreversible gate damage. Gate drive circuits must include clamping (e.g., Zener diodes) and limit series resistance to prevent ringing-induced overshoot beyond this rating.
Does IKA15N65ET6XKSA1 require a negative gate voltage for turn-off?
No-turn-off is fully achieved with 0 V gate drive. However, applying −5 V to −8 V improves noise immunity and reduces Miller-induced false turn-on in high-dV/dt environments. The device's VGE(th) (4.8–6.4 V) ensures robust off-state margin even with 0 V gate bias under typical PCB layout parasitics.
How does the integrated Rapid diode differ from standard FRD counterparts?
The Rapid diode exhibits soft recovery (low dIrr/dt), low Qrr (0.21 µC), and tight trr distribution (69–113 ns across temperature). Unlike generic fast recovery diodes, it is co-optimized with the IGBT die for matched thermal expansion and dynamic behavior-reducing voltage overshoot and EMI in hard-switched inverters without external snubbers.
Can IKA15N65ET6XKSA1 be paralleled for higher current capability?
Yes-its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution (±5% VCE(sat)) enable stable current sharing. Successful paralleling requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and shared heatsink contact. Derate total current by 15% versus sum of individual ratings to account for thermal coupling effects.
