Product details
Overview
IKW25T120FKSA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 25 A TrenchStop® and Fieldstop IGBT with integrated soft-fast anti-parallel Emitter Controlled HE diode in PG-TO-247-3 package. It delivers 1.7 V VCE(sat) at 25 °C and 1.7 V diode forward voltage, enabling high-efficiency 10 µs short-circuit ruggedness in frequency converters and UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the IKW25T120FKSA1 datasheet, IKW25T120FKSA1 pinout, IKW25T120FKSA1 application, or IKW25T120FKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) temperature stability, diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 2.3 µC @ 25 °C), gate charge (155 nC), short-circuit withstand time, and thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.65 K/W).
Technical Context
This IGBT employs non-punch-through (NPT) TrenchStop®/Fieldstop architecture to ensure positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat), enabling stable parallel operation and tight parameter distribution across temperature. Its integrated Emitter Controlled HE diode features soft, fast recovery (trr = 200 ns @ 25 °C) and low Qrr, minimizing switching losses and EMI in hard-switched topologies.
The device is qualified per JEDEC J-STD-020/JESD-022 for industrial applications, supports ±20 V gate drive, and exhibits low gate charge (155 nC) and low output capacitance (Coss = 96 pF), facilitating high-frequency PWM control up to 100 kHz while maintaining thermal robustness (Tj,max = 150 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 1200 V - supports DC bus voltages up to 1000 V in three-phase rectified systems |
| IC | 25 A continuous - rated for sustained conduction in motor drives and UPS inverters |
| VCE(sat) | 1.7 V @ Tj = 25 °C - reduces conduction loss by ~1.0 V vs. BUP314D, lowering heatsink requirements |
| VF | 1.7 V @ Tj = 25 °C - low diode forward drop minimizes anti-parallel path loss during freewheeling |
| tSC | 10 µs - enables reliable short-circuit protection without desaturation circuit complexity |
| Qgate | 155 nC - determines gate driver power and switching speed trade-off in 10–50 kHz designs |
| RthJC | 0.65 K/W - allows 190 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C, critical for compact thermal design |
Pinout & Package
IKW25T120FKSA1 uses the PG-TO-247-3 package: insulated case, through-hole mounting, 3-terminal configuration with isolated collector tab for direct heatsink attachment and thermal optimization.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main current sink terminal | Connected to DC+ bus; electrically and thermally coupled to metal tab for low-inductance, high-current paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT + anti-parallel diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW30N120H3 | Higher IC = 30 A, lower VCE(sat) = 1.6 V @ 25 °C, but higher Qgate = 190 nC | Better for higher-current, lower-frequency (<10 kHz) motor drives where conduction loss dominates | Select when thermal margin is constrained and gate drive capability supports higher charge |
| FGA25N120ANTD | Same VCE = 1200 V, but NPT-only (no Fieldstop), VCE(sat) = 2.0 V @ 25 °C, no integrated soft diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; suited for cost-sensitive designs with relaxed EMI targets | Choose only if external diode layout and thermal management are fully controlled |
Compared with IKW30N120H3 and FGA25N120ANTD, IKW25T120FKSA1 offers optimal balance of conduction efficiency, integrated diode softness, and gate drive simplicity for 25 A industrial inverters operating at 10–50 kHz.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IKW25T120FKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V DC. Exceeding this risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended operating range is –10 V to +15 V for reliable turn-on/turn-off with noise immunity; the internal 8 Ω gate resistor helps dampen ringing but does not replace proper external gate network design.
Does IKW25T120FKSA1 require an external freewheeling diode?
No. It integrates a soft, fast-recovery Emitter Controlled HE diode rated for 25 A continuous and 75 A pulsed current. This diode is co-packaged and thermally coupled to the IGBT die, eliminating need for discrete diodes in standard inverter leg configurations.
How does short-circuit withstand time vary with temperature and bus voltage?
tSC is specified as 10 µs at VGE = 15 V, VCC ≤ 1200 V, and Tj ≤ 150 °C. At elevated Tj or reduced VGE, tSC decreases; the device allows <1000 cumulative events with >1 s interval between faults per JEDEC qualification.
Is IKW25T120FKSA1 compatible with standard TO-247 heatsinks?
Yes. The PG-TO-247-3 package uses industry-standard TO-247 mechanical dimensions and mounting hole pattern. Its insulated collector tab allows direct mounting to electrically grounded heatsinks without additional isolation hardware, provided thermal interface material meets RthJC = 0.65 K/W requirement.
