Product details
Overview
IKP20N60TAHKSA1 from Infineon is a 600 V, 20 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT with integrated Emitter Controlled HE diode in PG-TO220-3 package, featuring 1.5 V typical VCE(sat) at 25°C, 5 µs short-circuit withstand time at 15 V gate drive, and 175°C maximum junction temperature-designed for frequency converters and UPS inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IKP20N60TAHKSA1 datasheet, IKP20N60TAHKSA1 pinout, IKP20N60TAHKSA1 application, or IKP20N60TAHKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) stability over temperature, soft diode recovery (trr = 41 ns @ 25°C), gate charge (120 nC), thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.9 K/W), and JEDEC1 qualification for industrial power conversion.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs TRENCHSTOP™ and Fieldstop technology to achieve tight parameter distribution, high ruggedness, and temperature-stable switching behavior up to 175°C junction temperature. Its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enables inherent current sharing in parallel operation.
The integrated anti-parallel diode is an Emitter Controlled HE type with soft, fast recovery (trr = 41 ns typ. @ 25°C, 176 ns @ 175°C) and low Qrr (0.31 µC typ. @ 25°C), minimizing switching losses and EMI in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 600 V - supports DC bus voltages up to 400 V in 3-phase inverters with 50% voltage margin |
| IC | 20 A continuous - rated for 20 A at TC = 25°C, derates to 28 A at TC = 100°C |
| VCE(sat) | 1.5 V (typ. @ 25°C), 1.9 V (typ. @ 175°C) - low conduction loss with stable thermal behavior |
| tSC | 5 µs - enables robust short-circuit protection with gate driver fault response < 2 µs |
| QG | 120 nC - determines gate drive power requirement and influences switching speed control |
| RthJC | 0.9 K/W - allows 166 W total power dissipation at TC = 25°C with minimal thermal bottleneck |
| trr / Qrr | 41 ns / 0.31 µC (@ 25°C) - reduces turn-on loss of companion IGBT and limits voltage overshoot |
Pinout & Package
PG-TO220-3 package with isolated mounting base, standard through-hole footprint, and 1.5 mm creepage/clearance per IEC 60664-1. Pin assignment verified per Infineon datasheet Rev. 2.8.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output terminal | Connected to DC bus high side; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Requires 12–15 V drive with low-impedance path; internal RG not specified but external RG = 12 Ω used in characterization |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common reference for both IGBT and anti-parallel diode; critical for gate loop integrity and noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) with positive tempco | Enables parallel operation without current imbalance and reduces conduction loss across operating temperature range |
| Soft, fast-recovery anti-parallel diode | Minimizes reverse recovery stress on IGBT during commutation, lowering Eoff and dv/dt-induced EMI |
| 5 µs short-circuit withstand capability | Supports reliable hardware-level fault handling in motor drives and UPS without requiring ultra-fast desat detection |
| JEDEC1 qualification | Validated for industrial applications including frequency converters and uninterruptible power supplies under real-world thermal cycling |
| Pb-free, RoHS-compliant plating | Meets environmental compliance requirements for global OEM production and eliminates lead-based solder compatibility concerns |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT-in-DuoPack applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKP20N60T | Same die, identical electrical specs; differs only in packaging marking (no 'A' suffix or 'HKSA1' suffix) | No functional difference; HKSA1 denotes specific tape-and-reel packaging and traceability for automotive-adjacent industrial programs | Select IKP20N60TAHKSA1 when full lot traceability, RoHS+REACH documentation, or AEC-Q101-aligned process controls are required |
| FGH20N60UFD | Higher VCE(sat) (1.7 V typ.), longer tSC (10 µs), no integrated diode - requires external ultrafast diode | Better suited for higher-voltage, lower-frequency applications where diode integration is not needed | Choose only if external diode selection provides better trr/Qrr trade-off than integrated HE diode, or if higher tSC margin is prioritized over conduction loss |
Compared with IKP20N60T, the HKSA1 variant adds enhanced traceability and process controls without altering performance; versus FGH20N60UFD, it trades off external diode flexibility for lower system BOM count, reduced layout complexity, and guaranteed matched diode characteristics.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IKP20N60TAHKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V DC. Operation above +15 V or below –10 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –10 V for active Miller clamping during turn-off to prevent false triggering.
Does IKP20N60TAHKSA1 require a negative gate voltage for reliable operation?
No negative gate voltage is required for basic functionality, but applying –5 V to –10 V during turn-off significantly improves noise immunity and prevents spurious turn-on due to Miller-induced dv/dt coupling, especially in high-di/dt applications like motor drives.
How does the integrated diode differ from standard FRD or SBD alternatives?
The Emitter Controlled HE diode features soft reverse recovery (trr = 41 ns @ 25°C) with low Qrr and controlled Irrm, reducing voltage overshoot and EMI compared to fast recovery diodes. Unlike Schottky diodes, it sustains 600 V blocking and operates reliably up to 175°C junction temperature.
Can IKP20N60TAHKSA1 be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes-its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enables stable current sharing. Successful parallel operation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and thermal coupling via shared heatsink. Derate total current by 15% versus sum of individual ratings for safety margin.
