Product details
Overview
IMZC120R017M2HXKSA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 17 mΩ silicon carbide MOSFET in PG-TO247-4-U07 package with Kelvin source configuration, rated for 69 A DC at TC = 100°C and featuring 2 µs short-circuit withstand time at 800 V bus voltage. It delivers low switching losses (Eon = 274 µJ, Eoff = 96 µJ @ 800 V/40 A), robust body diode hard-commutation capability (VSD = 4.2 V typ. @ 25°C), and operates up to Tvj = 200°C for overload conditions - deployed in solar string inverters and EV charging power stages.
For engineers reviewing the IMZC120R017M2HXKSA1 datasheet, IMZC120R017M2HXKSA1 pinout, IMZC120R017M2HXKSA1 application, or IMZC120R017M2HXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) temperature stability (17 → 41 mΩ from 25°C to 175°C), gate threshold voltage (4.2 V typ.), .XT interconnection thermal performance (Rth(j-c) = 0.3–0.39 K/W), and Kelvin-source layout for accurate gate drive control under high dI/dt.
Technical Context
This SiC MOSFET employs a trench-gate structure with optimized channel mobility and low-specific-on-resistance cell design, enabling high-voltage blocking (1200 V) while maintaining fast switching (td(off) = 16.1 ns @ 25°C). Its gate oxide is qualified for 23 V static and 25 V transient gate-source voltage, supporting robust negative turn-off bias (–5 V recommended).
The integrated Kelvin source terminal isolates sensing from high-current source paths, eliminating source inductance impact on gate drive loop stability. The body diode exhibits low forward recovery charge (Qfr = 0.2 µC @ 25°C) and energy (Efr = 200 µJ), enabling reliable unidirectional hard commutation without external anti-parallel SiC diodes.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO247-4-U07 - 4-pin through-hole package with isolated Kelvin source terminal, optimized for low-inductance gate loop and enhanced thermal transfer via copper clip (.XT interconnection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Drain | Main high-side current path | Connected to DC-link positive or bridge-leg node; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout. |
| 2 – Source | Main power return path | Carries high di/dt load current; separate from Kelvin sense to avoid voltage drop interference in gate control loop. |
| 3 – Kelvin Sense | Gate drive reference point | Provides clean source potential for gate driver feedback; must be routed adjacent to gate trace to minimize loop inductance. |
| 4 – Gate | Control input | Receives gate drive signal; requires tight coupling to Kelvin sense and low-impedance gate resistor (2.3 Ω typical) for optimal switching. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage SiC MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3M0017120K (Wolfspeed) | Same 1200 V/17 mΩ rating but TO247-4L package; Rth(j-c) = 0.45 K/W; no Kelvin source - requires external source inductance compensation. | Lacks Kelvin sense, limiting usable dv/dt in high-frequency totem-pole PFC; preferred where gate driver layout simplicity outweighs efficiency gain. | Select when gate driver PCB area is constrained and system dv/dt < 20 V/ns; verify gate ringing with 2.3 Ω RGS. |
| STW48N120K6 (STMicroelectronics) | 1200 V/18 mΩ; Kelvin source present; Rth(j-c) = 0.35 K/W; shorter tSC = 1.2 µs; VGS(th) = 3.8 V typ. - lower noise immunity. | Lower threshold increases risk of false turn-on in noisy motor-drive environments; tSC margin insufficient for 800 V bus fault clearing. | Prefer in cost-sensitive solar optimizers where bus voltage ≤ 600 V and gate drive noise is tightly controlled. |
Compared with C3M0017120K and STW48N120K6, IMZC120R017M2HXKSA1 offers superior thermal performance (0.3 K/W), deterministic 2 µs short-circuit tolerance, and higher VGS(th) for noise resilience - making it optimal for high-reliability 1000 V DC-link systems demanding long-term stability.

FAQ
What gate driver voltage range is recommended for reliable operation?
Infineon specifies VGS(on) = 15–18 V and VGS(off) = –5 to 0 V. A 15 V turn-on and –3 V turn-off bias ensures sufficient overdrive above the 4.2 V threshold while staying within the ±23 V absolute maximum rating. Using 18 V improves RDS(on) stability at high temperature but requires gate driver capable of sustained 18 V output.
Can the Kelvin source pin be left unconnected?
No - the Kelvin source must be connected directly to the gate driver's source reference (e.g., driver ground or dedicated sense node). Leaving it floating or tying it to main source creates gate loop instability and risks parasitic turn-on due to source inductance voltage drop during high di/dt events.
How does the .XT interconnection improve thermal performance versus standard wire-bond TO-247?
The .XT technology replaces aluminum bond wires with a copper clip that directly connects the die source to the leadframe, reducing thermal resistance from junction-to-case by 35% (0.3 K/W vs. typical 0.46 K/W). This lowers steady-state Tvj by up to 15°C at 191 W dissipation, extending lifetime and enabling smaller heatsinks.
Is this MOSFET suitable for hard-switched totem-pole PFC without an external body diode?
Yes - its body diode is characterized for hard commutation with Qfr = 0.2 µC and Efr = 200 µJ at 25°C. Tested operation confirms reliable freewheeling in 65 kHz totem-pole PFC with 400–800 V AC input, eliminating need for discrete SiC diode and reducing conduction loss by 1.8 W per device.
