Product details
Overview
IRG4BC10KDPBF from Infineon (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 9.0 A continuous collector current insulated gate bipolar transistor co-packaged with an ultrafast soft-recovery HEXFRED diode in TO-220AB package. It delivers VCE(on) = 2.39 V @ 5.0 A/15 V, tsc = 10 µs short-circuit withstand time at 360 V and 125 °C, and is optimized for motor control inverters requiring robust switching under inductive loads.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4BC10KDPBF datasheet, IRG4BC10KDPBF pinout, IRG4BC10KDPBF application, or IRG4BC10KDPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its clamped inductive load rating (ILM = 18 A), low RθJC (3.3 °C/W IGBT, 7.0 °C/W diode), and integrated diode recovery performance (trr = 28–42 ns, Qrr = 40–60 nC).
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a fourth-generation trench-gate field-stop structure enabling high power density and tight parameter distribution. Its gate threshold voltage (VGE(th) = 3.0–6.5 V) and negative temperature coefficient of VCE(on) support stable parallel operation in multi-device modules.
The integrated HEXFRED diode features ultrasoft reverse recovery (di(rec)/dt ≤ 280 A/µs at 25 °C) and minimized EMI generation. Switching behavior is characterized by Qg = 19–29 nC, Eon = 0.25 mJ, and Eoff = 0.14 mJ under standard 480 V, 5.0 A, 15 V gate drive conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 480 V RMS in 3-phase motor drives with safety margin. |
| IC @ TC = 25°C | 9.0 A - Supports continuous output current in 1–2 kW industrial inverters with heatsink. |
| tsc | 10 µs - Enables hardware-level short-circuit protection without external desaturation detection circuitry. |
| VCE(on) | 2.39 V (typ.) @ 5.0 A/15 V - Reduces conduction loss to ~12 W at rated current, improving thermal efficiency. |
| RθJC (IGBT) | 3.3 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance for compact designs. |
| Qrr | 40–60 nC (25–125 °C) - Low reverse recovery charge minimizes diode-induced turn-off losses and voltage overshoot. |
| Ets | 0.39–0.48 mJ @ 25 °C - Total switching energy enables >20 kHz PWM operation in servo drives with controlled EMI. |
Pinout & Package
IRG4BC10KDPBF uses the TO-220AB package with isolated tab, featuring three terminals: Collector (C), Gate (G), and Emitter (E). The metal tab is electrically connected to the collector and must be insulated from heatsink unless system topology requires collector-referenced mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main high-side power terminal | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires insulating washer when mounted to grounded heatsink. |
| Gate | Control input for IGBT channel | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal; requires 15 V ±10% drive and <100 Ω series resistance for stable switching. |
| Emitter | Power return and diode cathode | Common reference for gate drive and current sensing; carries both IGBT emitter and diode anode current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast soft-recovery diode | HEXFRED diode with trr ≤ 42 ns and di(rec)/dt ≤ 280 A/µs reduces voltage spikes and EMI in inverter leg commutation. |
| Short-circuit ruggedness | tsc = 10 µs at 360 V, 125 °C ensures reliable fault handling in motor stall or locked-rotor conditions. |
| Low gate charge | Qg = 19–29 nC enables efficient driving with low-power gate drivers (e.g., IR2110, UCC27531) without excessive heat dissipation. |
| Thermal performance | RθJC = 3.3 °C/W (IGBT) + 7.0 °C/W (diode) supports high-power density layouts with single heatsink for both devices. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Appliance Inverter Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 3-phase inverter stage in 1.5 kW HVAC compressor drives operating at 16 kHz PWM frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in upper/lower leg of inverter bridge; handles bidirectional current via integrated diode during freewheeling. Use Value: 10 µs short-circuit rating allows direct hardware fault response; low VCE(on) reduces thermal stress on heatsink in enclosed cabinet environments. | Use Scenario: Washing machine drum motor inverter with sensorless FOC control and variable-speed spin cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge switch providing precise torque control; HEXFRED diode manages regenerative braking energy during deceleration. Use Value: Soft diode recovery (Qrr = 40–60 nC) suppresses audible noise and EMI that would otherwise interfere with onboard MCU and communication interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT with integrated diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRG4PH10UD | Same VCES (600 V), higher IC (10 A), lower VCE(on) (2.2 V typ.), but no integrated diode. | Requires external ultrafast diode; better suited for designs needing independent diode optimization. | Select when thermal budget permits separate diode placement and gate drive flexibility is prioritized over integration. |
| FGA25N120ANTD | Higher VCES (1200 V), same TO-220AB package, integrated diode, but higher VCE(on) (3.2 V typ.) and slower switching. | Targeted at 600–800 V DC bus systems where voltage headroom is critical over efficiency. | Select only if system DC link exceeds 550 V; avoid for 400 V motor drives due to excess conduction loss. |
Compared with IRG4PH10UD and FGA25N120ANTD, IRG4BC10KDPBF uniquely balances integrated diode functionality, 600 V rating, and 10 µs short-circuit capability-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 1–2 kW motor inverters where reliability under transient faults is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?
The datasheet specifies RG = 100 Ω for characterization, and gate drive stability requires RG ≤ 150 Ω to maintain td(off) ≤ 150 ns and prevent oscillation. Higher values increase switching losses and risk shoot-through in half-bridge configurations due to slowed turn-off edge.
Can IRG4BC10KDPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its negative temperature coefficient of VCE(on) and tight VGE(th) distribution (3.0–6.5 V) enable stable current sharing. Successful parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, symmetrical layout, and individual emitter resistors (0.1 Ω) for dynamic balancing.
Is the metal tab electrically isolated from the internal die?
No-the TO-220AB tab is internally connected to the collector terminal. Electrical isolation from the heatsink is mandatory unless the system design intentionally references the collector to chassis ground, requiring certified insulating hardware per IEC 61800-5-1.
What is the peak diode reverse recovery current (Irr) at 125 °C?
At TJ = 125 °C, Irr = 3.7–6.7 A (measured at VR = 200 V, dIF/dt = 200 A/µs). This value directly impacts snubber sizing and voltage overshoot during hard-commutation events in inverter leg cross-conduction.
