Product details
Overview
IPW60R160P6 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 160 mΩ superjunction N-channel power MOSFET in TO-247 package, optimized for high-efficiency hard-switching and resonant topologies. It delivers 23.8 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, 44 nC total gate charge, and 5.7 µJ output energy loss at 400 V - enabling compact, cooler-running PFC and SMPS stages in server PSUs and telecom rectifiers.
For engineers reviewing the IPW60R160P6 datasheet, IPW60R160P6 pinout, IPW60R160P6 application, or IPW60R160P6 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) vs. temperature stability, Eoss-driven light-load efficiency, dv/dt ruggedness (100 V/ns), and body diode commutation capability (500 A/µs) in high-frequency bridge configurations.
Technical Context
This CoolMOS™ P6 device implements an optimized superjunction cell structure with reduced specific on-resistance and minimized output charge (Eoss = 5.7 µJ @ 400 V). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 3.5–4.5 V) and plateau voltage (6.1 V) support robust 10–15 V gate drive without overvoltage risk.
The MOSFET features enhanced avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 497 mJ), 150°C maximum junction temperature, and low thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.71 °C/W) in TO-247 - enabling stable operation under repetitive hard-switching stress and high ambient conditions typical in industrial UPS and lighting ballasts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 600 V - rated blocking voltage for 400 V DC-link applications with ≥50 V margin against transients |
| RDS(on),max | 160 mΩ @ Tj = 25°C - enables <2.5 W conduction loss at 20 A, critical for thermally constrained PFC designs |
| Qg,typ | 44 nC - low gate charge reduces driver power and switching losses in 65–100 kHz hard-switched converters |
| Eoss@400V | 5.7 µJ - directly determines turn-on loss in ZVS/ZCS circuits; 30% lower than prior P5 generation |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 100 V/ns - supports reliable operation in high-dV/dt environments like LLC resonant half-bridges without snubbers |
| Body diode dI/dt | 500 A/µs - ensures safe commutation during synchronous rectification and freewheeling in asymmetric topologies |
| Tj,max | 150°C - allows full-rated operation in sealed enclosures up to 85°C ambient with standard heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
IPW60R160P6 uses the industry-standard TO-247 package with isolated tab (Drain-connected). The three leads are arranged linearly: Pin 1 (Gate), Pin 2 (Drain), Pin 3 (Source); the metal tab is electrically connected to Drain and serves as primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate | Control terminal; requires ≤1.7 Ω series gate resistor for optimal 12.5 ns turn-on delay and 40 ns turn-off delay |
| Pin 2 + Tab | Drain | Main high-voltage power terminal; tab provides low-inductance, high-current path and primary thermal interface to heatsink |
| Pin 3 | Source | Power return and gate reference node; must be routed with minimal loop inductance to avoid oscillation during fast switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superjunction cell architecture | Reduces RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit by 35% vs. P5, enabling higher power density in 1U server PSUs |
| Enhanced dv/dt ruggedness | 100 V/ns rating eliminates need for external gate clamping in 600 V bus applications with fast edge rates |
| High commutation ruggedness | 500 A/µs body diode dI/dt supports zero-voltage switching in phase-shifted full-bridge without external diodes |
| Industrial-grade qualification | Qualified per JEDEC J-STD-020 (MSL1) and JESD22-A108, ensuring reliability in 10-year embedded power systems |
| Pb-free & halogen-free | RoHS-compliant plating and mold compound meet IPC-J-STD-609A Class 1 requirements for green manufacturing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPW60R190P6 | RDS(on) = 190 mΩ, Qg = 37 nC, Eoss = 4.9 µJ - higher conduction loss but lower switching loss | Better suited for ultra-high-frequency (>200 kHz) resonant converters where Eoss dominates | Select when prioritizing light-load efficiency over full-load thermal performance |
| IPP60R160P6 | Identical electrical specs but TO-220 package - RthJC = 0.71 °C/W same, but lower max Ptot (176 W → 125 W) | Preferred for space-constrained, lower-power (<1.2 kW) adapters and lighting drivers with limited heatsink area | Select when mechanical footprint or assembly compatibility with legacy TO-220 layouts is required |
Compared with IPW60R190P6, this part trades 19% higher RDS(on) for 15% lower Eoss; compared with IPP60R160P6, it delivers identical RDS(on) and Qg but adds 51 W thermal headroom via TO-247's superior case dissipation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IPW60R160P6 at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 15.0 A at TC = 100°C, as specified in Table 2 of the Rev. 2.2 datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-247 package and silicon, not gate drive limitations. Operation above this current requires active cooling or pulse-width reduction to maintain Tj ≤ 150°C.
Does IPW60R160P6 require a negative gate turn-off voltage?
No. The device is fully compatible with 0 V to +15 V gate drive. Its VGS(th) range (3.5–4.5 V) and 6.1 V gate plateau ensure stable enhancement-mode operation with standard unipolar drivers. Negative bias is unnecessary and not recommended per Infineon's application notes.
Can IPW60R160P6 be paralleled with other CoolMOS™ P6 devices?
Yes, but gate-source ferrite beads (≥100 Ω @ 100 MHz) are strongly recommended per the datasheet to suppress oscillation and ensure current sharing. Matching RDS(on) tolerances (±20%) and symmetrical PCB layout are essential; no external current-sense or active balancing is needed for ≤3 devices in parallel.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for IPW60R160P6?
RthJC is 0.71 °C/W, measured from die junction to the TO-247 package case surface (including tab), per Table 3 of the datasheet. This value assumes proper mounting torque (60 Ncm) and thermal interface material with ≤0.5 °C·in²/W contact resistance.
