Product details
Overview
IRG4BC30UDPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600V, 30A n-channel IGBT in TO-220AB package, optimized for hard-switched motor control and UPS inverters with 2.4Ω gate resistance, 1.85V VCE(sat) @ 12A/25°C, and 21W maximum power dissipation at TC = 100°C. It integrates an ultrafast anti-parallel diode with 120ns trr and 12A IF.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4BC30UDPBF datasheet, IRG4BC30UDPBF pinout, IRG4BC30UDPBF application, or IRG4BC30UDPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600V blocking voltage, 30A rated collector current, low conduction loss at 12A, TO-220AB thermal performance, and integrated diode recovery characteristics for inverter half-bridge operation.
Technical Context
This IGBT uses a non-punch-through (NPT) silicon structure with field-stop technology to achieve balanced switching speed and ruggedness. Its gate threshold voltage of 5.0V ensures reliable turn-on under industrial drive conditions while maintaining noise immunity.
The integrated ultrafast diode features soft recovery (Qrr = 75nC @ IF = 12A), enabling reduced EMI and lower snubber losses in bidirectional energy transfer circuits such as regenerative braking stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600V - Maximum DC collector-emitter blocking voltage for 400V bus designs with 50% safety margin |
| IC (max) | 30A - Continuous collector current rating at TC = 100°C, defining thermal limit in heatsink-limited applications |
| VCE(sat) | 1.85V @ IC = 12A, VGE = 15V - Directly determines conduction loss in motor phase-leg switches |
| Eoff | 1.2mJ @ IC = 12A, VCE = 480V - Sets minimum dead-time and snubber sizing in 10–20kHz PWM inverters |
| trr (diode) | 120ns @ IF = 12A - Enables clean commutation without voltage spikes in freewheeling paths |
| RthJC | 0.95°C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case, used to calculate heatsink requirements for 21W PD |
| Qg | 72nC @ VGE = 15V - Determines gate driver peak current capability (≥3.6A for 20ns rise time) |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB, single-ended through-hole, insulated tab, 3-pin configuration with standard lead spacing and mounting hole.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side current path | Connected to DC bus positive in half-bridge; requires low-inductance layout to minimize VCE overshoot |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Driven by isolated gate driver; 2.4Ω internal gate resistor limits dV/dt and oscillation risk |
| Emitter (E) | Current return and reference node | Serves as common source for IGBT and anti-parallel diode; must be low-impedance ground path for accurate current sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated ultrafast diode | Enables compact half-bridge design without external diode; soft recovery reduces EMI in 15kHz motor drives |
| Field-stop NPT structure | Provides 600V breakdown with 1.85V VCE(sat), balancing efficiency and short-circuit ruggedness for 3-phase inverters |
| 21W power dissipation | Supports continuous 30A operation with standard TO-220 heatsinking in ambient ≤50°C environments |
| Low Qg/Rg ratio | 72nC total gate charge with 2.4Ω built-in resistor enables fast, stable switching without external gate resistor tuning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRG4PH40UD | 600V/40A, TO-247 package, higher current rating, no integrated diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; suited for higher-power 3–5kW inverters | Select when >30A continuous current or lower RthJC (<0.5°C/W) is required |
| FGA25N120ANTD | 1200V/25A, TO-3P package, higher voltage rating, slower switching (Eoff = 2.8mJ) | Targeted at 600–800V DC bus systems with longer dead-times and larger snubbers | Select when 1200V blocking is mandatory for railway or solar string applications |
Compared with IRG4PH40UD and FGA25N120ANTD, the IRG4BC30UDPBF offers optimal balance of 600V rating, integrated diode, and TO-220AB thermal-mechanical fit for cost-sensitive 1–3kW industrial inverters where board space and component count are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The IRG4BC30UDPBF has a maximum rated junction temperature of 150°C. Derating begins above TJ = 125°C, and safe operation requires maintaining TJ ≤ 150°C under worst-case conduction and switching loss conditions. Thermal design must account for both 21W steady-state dissipation and transient pulse loads.
Is an external gate resistor required?
No external gate resistor is required due to the built-in 2.4Ω resistor. However, a small series resistor (≤5Ω) may be added for fine-tuning dv/dt control or damping ringing in high-parasitic layouts. The internal resistor ensures stable turn-on/turn-off behavior with standard 15V gate drivers.
Can this IGBT replace older IRG4BC20U devices?
Yes - the IRG4BC30UDPBF is a direct upgrade to IRG4BC20U, offering identical pinout, same TO-220AB package, and improved VCE(sat) (1.85V vs. 2.0V) and lower Eoff. No PCB or driver redesign is needed, and it provides higher current headroom (30A vs. 20A) for extended lifetime in existing 1.5kW designs.
Does the integrated diode support reverse recovery in synchronous rectification?
The integrated diode supports reverse recovery but is not optimized for synchronous rectification. Its 120ns trr and soft recovery profile suit freewheeling and regenerative conduction, but dedicated SiC Schottky diodes or MOSFETs are preferred for high-frequency (>50kHz) synchronous rectification due to lower Qrr and zero recovery loss.
