Product details
Overview
IMZC120R026M2HXKSA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 25 mΩ silicon carbide MOSFET in a 4-pin TO-247 package with Kelvin source connection, rated for 49 A DC at TC = 100°C and featuring 2 µs short-circuit withstand time, robust 4.2 V gate threshold, and .XT interconnection technology for low thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 0.4–0.52 K/W). It serves as a high-efficiency switching device in high-voltage DC-DC converters for EV charging stations.
For engineers reviewing the IMZC120R026M2HXKSA1 datasheet, IMZC120R026M2HXKSA1 pinout, IMZC120R026M2HXKSA1 application, or IMZC120R026M2HXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) temperature stability, gate drive voltage compatibility (VGS(off) = –5 to 0 V), short-circuit ruggedness, and Kelvin-source layout requirements for accurate gate control.
Technical Context
This CoolSiC™ G2 MOSFET uses trench-gate SiC technology with optimized charge distribution, enabling ultra-low QGD (16 nC) and Crss (7 pF) for fast, low-loss switching at 800 V bus voltage. Its body diode supports hard commutation with VSD = 4.2–5.5 V and Qfr = 0.19–0.69 µC across –55°C to 175°C.
The 4-pin PG-TO247-4-U07 package separates power source (Pin 2) from Kelvin sense source (Pin 3), eliminating source inductance impact on gate drive loop. This architecture enables stable turn-on under high dV/dt (up to 200 kV/µs) and eliminates parasitic turn-on risk when using 0 V turn-off bias.

FAQ
What gate driver voltage range is recommended for IMZC120R026M2HXKSA1?
Infineon recommends VGS(on) = 15–18 V and VGS(off) = –5 to 0 V. The 4.2 V typical gate threshold ensures noise immunity, while the 0 V turn-off capability eliminates need for negative bias circuitry-reducing driver complexity and PCB area. Driving outside this range risks over-stressing the gate oxide or incomplete turn-off.
Can IMZC120R026M2HXKSA1 replace silicon IGBTs directly in existing designs?
No direct drop-in replacement is possible due to its 4-pin Kelvin-source layout and lower gate charge (60 nC vs. typical IGBT 300+ nC). Layout must separate power and Kelvin source traces, and gate drivers must be re-tuned for faster switching. However, it enables higher efficiency and frequency-justifying redesign in new 1200 V systems.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The device supports continuous operation up to TC = 100°C, delivering 49 A DC current and 144 W power dissipation. At TC = 25°C, it handles 69 A DC. Exceeding 100°C requires derating per the datasheet's Ptot vs. TC curve, with absolute max virtual junction temperature limited to 175°C (200°C for transient overload).
How does the Kelvin source configuration improve switching performance?
The dedicated Kelvin source (Pin 3) provides a low-inductance reference for the gate driver, decoupling gate loop dynamics from high-current source path transients. This prevents voltage spikes across source inductance from falsely turning off the device during hard switching, enabling stable 0 V turn-off and reducing required gate drive strength by ~40%.
