Product details
Overview
IKU04N60R from Infineon is a 600V, 4A reverse-conducting IGBT (RC-IGBT) with integrated fast recovery diode in PG-TO251-3 package, optimized for hard-switching motor drives and industrial inverters. It delivers 1.65V VCE(sat) at 4A/25°C, 175°C max junction temperature, 5µs short-circuit withstand time, and low EMI due to smooth switching waveforms.
For engineers reviewing the IKU04N60R datasheet, IKU04N60R pinout, IKU04N60R application, or IKU04N60R equivalent, this device is selected for compact high-efficiency 1–20 kHz inverter stages where space-constrained PCB layout, thermal robustness, and integrated diode functionality reduce external component count.
Technical Context
This RC-IGBT integrates a co-packaged ultrafast diode with matched thermal characteristics and tightly controlled parameter distribution. Its TRENCHSTOP™ RC architecture enables simultaneous optimization of conduction loss (VCE(sat) = 1.65V, VF = 1.70V) and switching performance (toff,delay = 146 ns, tfall = 171 ns at 25°C).
The device supports hard-switching operation up to 20 kHz with stable safe operating area (SOA) across -40°C to +175°C, validated short-circuit capability (5 µs @ 15 VGE, 400 VCE), and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 400 V with margin for transients in industrial motor drives. |
| IC continuous | 4.0 A @ TC = 100°C - Sustains rated load current under typical heatsink conditions without derating. |
| VCE(sat) | 1.65 V @ IC = 4 A, Tj = 25°C - Enables low conduction loss in 1–20 kHz inverter half-bridges. |
| VF (diode) | 1.70 V @ IF = 4 A, Tj = 25°C - Matches IGBT forward drop for balanced power dissipation in bidirectional current paths. |
| tsc | 5 µs @ VGE = 15 V, VCE ≤ 400 V - Allows robust overcurrent protection timing in gate driver fault circuits. |
| Rth(j-c) (IGBT) | 2.00 K/W - Enables direct mounting to heatsinks for efficient thermal transfer in compact enclosures. |
| QG | 27.0 nC - Supports standard 15 V gate drive with moderate driver strength (e.g., 1–2 A peak). |
Pinout & Package
IKU04N60R uses the PG-TO251-3 (single-ended lead, surface-mount) package with isolated tab. The package provides mechanical robustness and thermal performance comparable to TO-252 while enabling higher board density.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output terminal | Connected to DC bus positive in half-bridge; carries full load current during conduction. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Receives 15 V logic-level signal; internal 43 Ω gate resistor simplifies driver design. |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common emitter for IGBT and cathode connection point for integrated diode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TRENCHSTOP™ RC technology | Monolithic integration of IGBT and ultrafast diode in single die+package reduces parasitic inductance and layout complexity. |
| Optimized VCE(sat)/VF balance | 1.65 V / 1.70 V at 4 A ensures matched conduction losses in both directions-critical for regenerative braking in motor drives. |
| Smooth switching waveform | Low di/dt (−330 A/µs) and controlled fall time (171 ns) minimize EMI generation without snubbers in 20 kHz designs. |
| 175°C maximum junction temperature | Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without forced cooling. |
| Pb-free, RoHS-compliant plating | Compatible with 260°C reflow (MSL1), supporting automated SMT assembly in industrial manufacturing lines. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar reverse-conducting IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKD04N60R | Identical electrical specs but PG-TO252-3 package (exposed drain pad); 2.0 K/W Rth(j-c) same, but better thermal interface via solderable tab. | Better suited for heatsink-mounted designs requiring lower thermal resistance; less suitable for dense SMT-only layouts. | Select IKD04N60R when thermal performance dominates over board area; choose IKU04N60R for pure SMT density. |
| IRG4PH40KD-SP | 600V/4A standard IGBT (no integrated diode); VCE(sat) = 1.8 V; requires external ultrafast diode (e.g., MUR420). | Higher component count and layout complexity; diode mismatch may increase switching loss and EMI in high-di/dt applications. | Use only if legacy design compatibility or diode replacement flexibility is required; not recommended for new space-constrained designs. |
Compared with IKD04N60R, IKU04N60R trades minor thermal advantage for superior PCB density; versus IRG4PH40KD-SP, it eliminates diode selection, layout, and matching effort-reducing design cycle time and failure modes in production.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IKU04N60R?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V, with recommended operating range of −10 V to +15 V. Exceeding +15 V risks gate oxide degradation, while negative bias below −10 V offers no additional noise immunity benefit and increases driver complexity.
Can IKU04N60R replace a discrete IGBT + diode pair in an existing design?
Yes-its pin-compatible PG-TO251-3 footprint and integrated diode allow direct substitution in half-bridge configurations, provided gate drive timing accounts for matched IGBT/diode switching behavior and layout minimizes stray inductance at the emitter node.
How does the 5 µs short-circuit withstand time translate to system-level protection?
At 15 V gate drive and ≤400 V collector voltage, the device sustains short-circuit current for 5 µs before thermal runaway. This enables reliable detection and shutdown using standard gate drivers with <500 ns fault response, meeting IEC 61800-5-1 functional safety requirements for motor drives.
Is the integrated diode rated for continuous conduction in regenerative braking?
Yes-the diode shares the same 4.0 A continuous current rating as the IGBT at TC = 100°C and exhibits matched thermal coupling. Its 1.70 V forward voltage and 43 ns reverse recovery time at 25°C ensure low loss and minimal voltage overshoot during commutation.
