Product details
Overview
IRG4IBC30WPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 17 A insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) in TO-220 Fullpak package, featuring 2.5 kV insulation voltage, 51 nC typical total gate charge, and 2.45 V typical VCE(sat) at 12 A/15 VGE. It is engineered for hard-switched SMPS and boost PFC stages operating up to 150 kHz with low conduction and switching losses.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4IBC30WPBF datasheet, IRG4IBC30WPBF pinout, IRG4IBC30WPBF application, or IRG4IBC30WPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VCES, 92 A pulsed current rating, 2.8 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 0.13 mJ Eoff, and suitability for isolated high-voltage DC-DC converters and active front-end rectifiers.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a trench-gate field-stop structure optimized for soft turn-off and minimal tail current, enabling efficient operation in continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost PFC and single-ended forward converters. Its 180 mJ avalanche energy rating supports unclamped inductive switching robustness.
The device integrates an electrically isolated mounting base rated for 2.5 kV AC (60 s), eliminating need for additional isolation hardware in offline power supplies. Gate threshold voltage of 3.0–6.0 V and negative temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) ensure stable parallel operation and thermal runaway immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - withstands full-line transient surges in 400 V DC bus applications without breakdown |
| IC @ TC = 25°C | 17 A - supports continuous output power >150 W in TO-220 mounted designs |
| Eoff | 0.13 mJ - enables 150 kHz hard switching with <0.35 mJ total switching loss at 12 A |
| RθJC | 2.8 °C/W - allows 45 W dissipation with ≤125°C case temperature rise above ambient |
| VCE(sat) @ 12 A | 2.45 V - yields <30 W conduction loss at 12 A, critical for PFC efficiency targets |
| Qg | 51 nC typ - determines gate driver peak current requirement (~2.2 A for 23 Ω RG) |
| Insulation Voltage | 2.5 kV AC, 60 s - eliminates external isolation barriers in Class I AC-DC supplies |
Pinout & Package
IRG4IBC30WPBF uses the industry-standard isolated TO-220 Fullpak package with electrically insulated metal tab. The package provides creepage/clearance compliant with IEC 60950-1 and features lead-free (Pb-free) construction per RoHS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main power output terminal | Electrically isolated metal tab serves as high-current collector node and heatsink interface |
| Emitter | Power return path | Low-inductance emitter connection (7.5 nH internal inductance) minimizes switching voltage overshoot |
| Gate | Control input | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal requiring ±20 V absolute max drive voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hard-switching frequency support | Up to 150 kHz with <0.35 mJ total switching loss at 12 A - enables compact magnetics in SMPS |
| Clamped inductive load capability | 92 A ILM with 180 mJ avalanche energy - sustains repetitive unclamped inductive turn-off in PFC chokes |
| Thermal stability | Negative dVCE(sat)/dTJ coefficient and 150°C max TJ - ensures safe parallel operation and overtemperature margin |
| Isolation integrity | 2.5 kV AC, 60 s isolation between collector and mounting surface - removes need for insulating pads in chassis-grounded designs |
Applications
| Industrial SMPS | Active Front-End Rectifiers |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGP10NC60KD | 600 V/10 A, 1.95 V VCE(sat), 35 nC Qg, TO-220FP package without isolation | Lacks 2.5 kV isolation; requires external insulator pad; lower current rating | Select when isolation is handled externally and cost sensitivity outweighs thermal advantage |
| IXGH12N60C3D1 | 600 V/12 A, 2.2 V VCE(sat), 42 nC Qg, TO-247 package with isolated tab | Higher RθJC (0.5 °C/W) but larger package; no Fullpak footprint compatibility | Select when higher surge current (120 A) and superior thermal performance justify PCB layout change |
Compared with STGP10NC60KD and IXGH12N60C3D1, IRG4IBC30WPBF uniquely balances 17 A current capability, integrated 2.5 kV isolation, and TO-220 footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical 150–300 W PFC modules where mounting simplicity and creepage compliance are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate drive voltage for reliable operation?
The absolute maximum gate-to-emitter voltage is ±20 V. Operation above +15 V or below –10 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –10 V for active Miller clamping during turn-off to prevent spurious conduction.
Can IRG4IBC30WPBF be used in resonant LLC topologies?
Yes - its low minority-carrier recombination and 7.5 nH internal emitter inductance support clean zero-voltage switching up to >300 kHz. However, gate drive must be precisely timed to avoid shoot-through during dead-time, and VCE snubbing remains essential due to lack of built-in freewheeling diode.
Does this part include an integrated anti-parallel diode?
No - IRG4IBC30WPBF is a discrete IGBT without an integrated freewheeling diode. An external ultrafast recovery diode (e.g., ISL9R1560P2) must be co-packaged or placed in close proximity to handle reverse current in bridge configurations.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for 100 kHz PFC operation?
A 23 Ω gate resistor is validated in the datasheet for 12 A, 480 V conditions, yielding 99 ns td(off) and 67 ns tf. For 100 kHz PFC, use 18–27 Ω depending on driver capability and required Eoff/Eon balance - lower values reduce switching loss but increase EMI and gate driver stress.
