Product details
Overview
IMZC120R040M2HXKSA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 40 mΩ silicon carbide MOSFET in PG-TO247-4-U07 package with Kelvin source configuration, rated for 34 A DC at TC = 100°C, featuring 2 µs short-circuit withstand time, VGS(th) = 4.2 V, and .XT interconnection technology for enhanced thermal performance-used in high-efficiency 3-phase inverters for solar string inverters and EV charging stations.
For engineers reviewing the IMZC120R040M2HXKSA1 datasheet, IMZC120R040M2HXKSA1 pinout, IMZC120R040M2HXKSA1 application, or IMZC120R040M2HXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) temperature stability, gate drive compatibility with -5 V to 0 V turn-off, body diode robustness in hard commutation, and thermal resistance Rth(j-c) = 0.53 K/W.
Technical Context
This SiC MOSFET employs a trench-gate structure with optimized channel mobility and low-QGD/QG ratio (10 nC / 39 nC), enabling fast switching with minimal Miller-induced oscillation. Its Kelvin source terminal isolates power and sense paths to eliminate source inductance effects during gate control.
The device integrates a robust intrinsic body diode with VSD = 4.2 V at 25°C and Qfr = 0.2 µC, supporting zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topologies and unidirectional hard commutation without external freewheeling diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 1200 V - supports DC-link voltages up to 1100 V in 3-level NPC or ANPC inverters with 10% margin. |
| RDS(on) | 40 mΩ @ VGS = 18 V, Tvj = 25°C - enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 18 A, critical for >99% efficiency targets. |
| tSC | 2 µs @ VDD ≤ 800 V - allows deterministic short-circuit protection using gate driver desaturation detection. |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.53 K/W - delivers 109 W power dissipation at TC = 100°C, reducing heatsink size by ~35% vs. comparable Si devices. |
| VGS(th) | 4.2 V (typ.) - provides noise immunity against dV/dt-induced false turn-on while enabling reliable 15 V gate drive. |
| QGD/QG | 10 nC / 39 nC - yields low Miller ratio (0.26), minimizing gate drive power and improving EMI behavior in 100 kHz+ designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO247-4-U07 - 4-pin through-hole package with isolated Kelvin source terminal for precise gate control and reduced dynamic RDS(on) overshoot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Drain | Main current path anode | High-current connection to DC-link capacitor; requires low-inductance layout to limit VDS overshoot during turn-off. |
| 2 – Source | Main current path cathode | Power return path for load current; must be routed separately from Kelvin source to avoid voltage drop interference. |
| 3 – Kelvin Sense | Gate reference for source potential | Provides true source potential to gate driver, eliminating common-source inductance impact on switching speed and stability. |
| 4 – Gate | Control input | Receives gate drive signal; requires low-impedance path to minimize ringing; compatible with Infineon 1EDC/2EDN gate drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| .XT interconnection technology | Reduces thermal resistance by 22% vs. standard wire-bond TO-247, enabling 200°C overload operation for 100 h cumulative. |
| Robust body diode | Qfr = 0.2 µC and Ifrm = 18.3 A @ 25°C support ZVS in LLC resonant converters without external diode. |
| Short-circuit ruggedness | 2 µs withstand time at 800 V bus allows use with standard desaturation detection circuits without external current sensors. |
| Gate threshold stability | VGS(th) shift < ±0.3 V from 25°C to 175°C ensures consistent turn-on timing across industrial temperature range. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3M0040120K | RDS(on) = 40 mΩ, but VGS(th) = 2.6 V (min); no Kelvin source; Rth(j-c) = 0.75 K/W | Lacks Kelvin source, limiting gate drive stability in high-dI/dt applications; higher thermal resistance increases heatsink cost. | Prefer IMZC120R040M2HXKSA1 where gate noise immunity and thermal performance are critical. |
| IXFH40N120X | Si-based; RDS(on) = 65 mΩ; tSC = 10 µs; VGS(th) = 3.5 V; no body diode rating | Higher conduction loss, slower switching, and no specified body diode ruggedness-requires external anti-parallel diode. | Select IMZC120R040M2HXKSA1 for >50 kHz designs requiring integrated body diode and <2 µs fault response. |
Compared with C3M0040120K and IXFH40N120X, IMZC120R040M2HXKSA1 delivers superior thermal management via .XT packaging, deterministic short-circuit behavior, and Kelvin-source-enabled gate control-making it optimal for high-reliability, high-frequency industrial power conversion where layout parasitics and thermal margins are constrained.

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 –5 V turn-off bias improves noise immunity and prevents parasitic turn-on during high dV/dt transitions. Gate drivers such as 1EDC30H12AH or 2EDN7524R provide compatible dual-rail outputs with fast slew rates and integrated DESAT protection.
Can the Kelvin source and power source pins be shorted externally?
No-shorting pins 2 (Source) and 3 (Kelvin Sense) invalidates the Kelvin sensing function and degrades switching performance. The Kelvin path must remain electrically isolated to ensure accurate gate-to-source voltage control; mixing these terminals causes gate overdrive, increased switching losses, and potential oscillation during turn-on.
Is this device qualified for automotive applications?
No-IMZC120R040M2HXKSA1 is qualified per JEDEC JESD47/JESD20/JESD22 for industrial applications only. It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade screening, and extended temperature validation beyond 175°C junction. For automotive traction inverters, consider Infineon's IMW120R045M1H or AIMW120R045M1H series.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete SiC Schottky diodes?
The integrated body diode has VSD = 4.2 V and Qfr = 0.2 µC at 25°C-higher forward voltage but lower Qfr than typical 1200 V SiC Schottkys (VF ≈ 1.5 V, Qc ≈ 0.4 µC). It excels in hard-commutation scenarios where reverse recovery robustness matters more than forward drop, eliminating need for separate anti-parallel diodes in totem-pole PFC.
