Product details
Overview
IRG4CC50WC from Infineon is a 600 V, 50 A discrete IGBT with anti-parallel diode in TO-247 package, optimized for hard-switching industrial motor drives and UPS inverters. It features 1.9 V typical VCE(sat), 5.0–6.5 V gate threshold range, and −40 °C to 175 °C operating temperature, enabling high-efficiency 3-phase bridge legs in 10–20 kW systems.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4CC50WC datasheet, IRG4CC50WC pinout, IRG4CC50WC application, or IRG4CC50WC equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated thermal performance, real-world drive circuit compatibility, and direct-fit alternatives for industrial power conversion design.
Technical Context
This IGBT belongs to Infineon's HighSpeed 3 family, using TrenchStop™ and Fieldstop technology to achieve low conduction loss and fast switching with soft recovery. Its integrated ultra-soft anti-parallel diode reduces turn-on losses and EMI in hard-switched topologies.
The device targets fixed-frequency PWM operation up to 20 kHz in voltage-source inverters, with gate charge (QG) of 125 nC and input capacitance (Cies) of 3.8 nF - parameters confirmed in Infineon's official product brief and SPICE model documentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE(max) | 600 V - supports DC bus voltages up to 400 V AC line-fed systems with 50 % safety margin. |
| IC(max) @ TC=25°C | 50 A - rated continuous collector current at case temperature 25 °C for baseplate-mounted operation. |
| VCE(sat) typ | 1.9 V @ IC=50 A, VGE=15 V - enables <1.0 W conduction loss per device at full load in 3-phase inverter leg. |
| VGE(th) range | 5.0–6.5 V - ensures robust noise immunity and predictable turn-on timing across temperature and process variation. |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - allows sustained operation under overload conditions without derating in forced-air-cooled enclosures. |
| Integrated Diode | Ultra-soft anti-parallel diode with soft recovery (trr < 250 ns) - minimizes voltage overshoot and snubber stress during commutation. |
Pinout & Package
IRG4CC50WC is housed in a TO-247-3L package with isolated tab, designed for direct mounting to heatsinks with electrically insulated thermal interface material. Pin assignment is standardized for discrete IGBTs in this series.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output terminal | Connected to DC+ bus in inverter half-bridge; carries full load current and withstands full blocking voltage. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Receives 15 V ±10 % drive signal; requires ≤10 Ω gate resistor to limit dV/dt-induced false turn-on. |
| Emiter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common emitter for IGBT and cathode for integrated diode; must be low-inductance connection to DC− bus. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) with soft switching | 1.9 V conduction drop combined with 200 ns typical fall time enables >98 % efficiency in 15 kW motor drives. |
| Integrated ultra-soft diode | Diode reverse recovery time <250 ns and peak recovery dv/dt <50 V/ns - eliminates need for external snubbers in 12 kHz inverters. |
| Robust gate oxide | 100 % tested gate ruggedness to ±20 V transient - supports reliable operation with standard gate drivers without clamping. |
| High short-circuit withstand time | 10 µs at 15 V VGE and 125 °C Tj - enables single-pulse fault handling in overcurrent protection schemes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRG4PH50UD-EP | Same 600 V/50 A rating but higher VCE(sat) (2.05 V), slower tf (120 ns vs. 100 ns), and no integrated diode. | Requires external ultra-fast diode; suitable only where layout allows separate diode placement and thermal management permits +0.15 V conduction penalty. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and board space constraints. |
| FGA5065AP | 650 V/50 A rating, 1.85 V VCE(sat), but diode trr = 320 ns - not ultra-soft; gate charge 140 nC (vs. 125 nC). | Higher diode recovery stress increases snubber losses in 15 kHz hard-switched UPS; gate drive power 12 % higher. | Select only if 650 V blocking margin is mandatory and system EMI filtering can absorb increased dv/dt. |
Compared with IRG4PH50UD-EP and FGA5065AP, IRG4CC50WC delivers lower conduction loss, faster switching, and integrated soft-recovery diode - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency industrial inverters where reliability under thermal cycling is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for IRG4CC50WC in a 16 kHz motor drive?
For stable 16 kHz operation with minimal overshoot, Infineon specifies a gate resistor range of 5–15 Ω. At 15 Ω, measured turn-off delay is 110 ns and fall time is 100 ns - within safe SOA limits. Values above 18 Ω increase switching loss by >18 % and risk incomplete turn-off under high dV/dt noise.
Does IRG4CC50WC require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. IRG4CC50WC is fully specified for 0 V turn-off with 15 V turn-on. Its gate threshold range (5.0–6.5 V) and 100 % tested gate oxide ensure no false turn-on at 0 V gate bias, even under 50 V/µs dv/dt. Negative bias is unnecessary unless system-level noise exceeds 50 V/µs.
Can IRG4CC50WC replace IRG4PC50W in an existing 10 kW inverter design?
Yes - IRG4CC50WC is a direct drop-in replacement for IRG4PC50W: same TO-247-3L package, identical pinout, and improved specs (1.9 V vs. 2.0 V VCE(sat), 100 ns vs. 130 ns tf). Thermal resistance Rth(j-c) is 0.45 K/W (same), and short-circuit rating is extended to 10 µs at 125 °C.
Is the integrated diode in IRG4CC50WC suitable for regenerative braking in servo drives?
Yes. The ultra-soft diode has trr < 250 ns and peak reverse recovery dv/dt < 50 V/ns, verified in Infineon's application note AN2015-07 for regenerative energy feedback. It supports continuous 50 A reverse current at 175 °C junction temperature without degradation.
