Product details
Overview
IRG4IBC30S from Infineon (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 23.5 A continuous collector current N-channel insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) in TO-220 Full-Pak package, featuring 1.4 V typical VCE(on) at 15 V gate drive and 18 A, optimized for low-frequency switching (<1 kHz) in industrial motor drives and UPS inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4IBC30S datasheet, IRG4IBC30S pinout, IRG4IBC30S application, or IRG4IBC30S equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VCES, 1.4 V VCE(on) at rated current, 50 nC total gate charge, 2.8 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and clamped inductive load capability up to 47 A - all critical for hard-switched, high-current DC-AC conversion stages.
Technical Context
This Generation 4 IGBT employs a trench-gate field-stop structure enabling tighter parameter distribution and higher efficiency than prior generations. Its design prioritizes low saturation voltage and robust ruggedness under clamped inductive loads, with 10 mJ reverse avalanche energy rating and SOA validated up to 480 V and 36 A at 150 °C junction temperature.
Switching behavior is characterized by 22 ns turn-on delay and 540–810 ns turn-off delay at 25 °C, with total switching losses of 3.71 mJ (25 °C) rising to 6.55 mJ at 150 °C - reflecting strong thermal stability for sustained operation in convection-cooled industrial enclosures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 480 V with 20% margin in industrial AC-DC/DC-AC systems |
| IC @ TC = 25 °C | 23.5 A - Supports continuous output current in 1–2 kW motor drive half-bridges without forced cooling |
| VCE(on) typ. | 1.4 V @ VGE = 15 V, IC = 18 A - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss per device at rated load, reducing heatsink requirements |
| Qg | 50 nC - Dictates gate driver power demand and influences switching speed control via external RG |
| RθJC | 2.8 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to aluminum heatsinks with predictable thermal rise under 18 W dissipation |
| EARV | 10 mJ - Provides single-pulse avalanche ruggedness during short-circuit events in unclamped inductive fault conditions |
| fmax (hard-switched) | <1 kHz - Optimized for line-frequency and low-speed PWM applications, not high-frequency SMPS |
Pinout & Package
IRG4IBC30S is housed in an industry-standard TO-220 Full-Pak package with insulated tab, enabling direct heatsink mounting without isolation hardware. The package features three terminals: Collector (tab), Emitter (pin 1), and Gate (pin 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | High-side power output node | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits |
| Emitter (Pin 1) | Power return path and gate reference | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical for noise immunity |
| Gate (Pin 2) | Control input for channel modulation | Requires ≤±20 V drive; 7.3 nC Qge dictates minimum gate resistor value to limit dV/dt-induced turn-on |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Generation 4 trench-gate field-stop architecture | Delivers 15% lower VCE(on) and 20% tighter parameter spread vs. Gen 3 equivalents, improving BOM consistency in volume production |
| Clamped inductive load rating | 47 A peak current capability under L-load conditions enables reliable operation in motor freewheeling and regenerative braking |
| Lead-free TO-220 Full-Pak | RoHS-compliant construction with insulated tab eliminates need for mica washers or silicone pads in heatsink assembly |
| 150 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports operation in sealed industrial enclosures with ambient temperatures up to 70 °C and limited airflow |
| Low internal emitter inductance | 7.5 nH - Reduces voltage overshoot during turn-off, easing snubber design in 400–600 V DC bus topologies |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Three-phase inverter stage converting 400 V DC bus to variable-frequency AC for 1.5 kW induction motors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in low-side leg; operates at 1–500 Hz with 50% duty cycle and 15 V gate drive. Use Value: 1.4 V VCE(on) limits conduction loss to <26 W per phase at full load, enabling passive cooling in DIN-rail mounted VFDs. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional DC-AC inverter in online double-conversion UPS delivering clean 230 V / 50 Hz output during grid failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current switching element in H-bridge output stage; handles 20 ms overload transients up to 200% rated current. Use Value: 10 mJ avalanche energy rating ensures safe shutdown during battery overvoltage faults without external crowbar circuitry. |
| Solar Microinverters | Welding Power Supplies |
Use Scenario: DC-AC stage in single-phase transformerless microinverter interfacing 30–60 V PV strings to 230 V grid. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-frequency (50/60 Hz) switching device in H-bridge; conducts sinusoidal current with zero-crossing commutation. Use Value: 600 V VCES provides sufficient margin against reflected grid transients and PV open-circuit voltage spikes up to 550 V. | Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in resonant DC-DC converter supplying 30–100 A DC welding current from rectified 400 V AC mains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hard-switched main switch operating at 1–20 kHz with high peak current pulses and 47 A clamped inductive load capability. Use Value: 47 A ILM rating supports repetitive 10 ms arc initiation surges without derating, extending IGBT lifetime in arc-strike cycles. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRG4PH40UD | 600 V, 40 A IC, 2.2 V VCE(on), TO-247 package, higher Qg (95 nC) | Higher current handling but larger footprint and greater gate drive demand | Select when >25 A continuous output or forced-air cooling is available |
| FGA25N120ANTD | 1200 V, 25 A, 2.1 V VCE(on), TO-3P package, slower switching (Eoff = 5.2 mJ) | Higher voltage rating suited for 600–800 V DC bus systems, not drop-in compatible | Select only when system requires 1200 V blocking capability and can accommodate higher conduction loss |
Compared with IRG4PH40UD and FGA25N120ANTD, IRG4IBC30S offers the lowest conduction loss (1.4 V) and smallest thermal resistance (2.8 °C/W) in TO-220 form factor, making it optimal for space-constrained, convection-cooled 1–2 kW industrial inverters where gate drive simplicity and thermal predictability are prioritized over peak current or ultra-high voltage capability.

FAQ
Is IRG4IBC30S RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, IRG4IBC30S is lead-free and RoHS-compliant, indicated by the "PbF" suffix in its full part number (IRG4IBC30SPbF). The TO-220 Full-Pak package uses matte tin-plated leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile requirements for lead-free assembly.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for standard operation?
A 23 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for switching tests at 25 °C and 150 °C. This value balances turn-on speed, dV/dt control, and EMI suppression; values below 15 Ω risk shoot-through in half-bridge configurations due to Miller-induced turn-on.
Can IRG4IBC30S replace older IRG4BC20U devices in existing designs?
Yes - IRG4IBC30S is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for Generation 3 IR IGBTs like IRG4BC20U, sharing identical TO-220 Full-Pak pinout, voltage rating, and gate drive requirements while offering lower VCE(on) and improved thermal performance.
Does this IGBT include an integrated anti-parallel diode?
No, IRG4IBC30S is a discrete IGBT without an integrated freewheeling diode. External ultrafast diodes (e.g., ISL9R3060P2) must be used in inverter legs to handle reactive current during commutation and regeneration.
