Product details
Overview
IRG4PC30SPBF from Infineon (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 30 A, n-channel standard-speed IGBT in TO-247AC package, featuring 2.3 Ω gate resistance, 180 nC total gate charge, and 24 W maximum power dissipation at TC = 25 °C. It is designed for hard-switched motor drives and industrial inverters operating below 20 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC30SPBF datasheet, IRG4PC30SPBF pinout, IRG4PC30SPBF application, or IRG4PC30SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(max) = 600 V, IC(cont) = 30 A at TC = 100 °C, ton/toff switching times, RthJC = 0.83 °C/W, and built-in anti-parallel diode with soft recovery.
Technical Context
This IGBT uses a punch-through (PT) structure with a vertical N-channel design and integrated fast-recovery emitter-controlled diode. Its gate threshold voltage is 5.0 V (typ), and it operates with VGE = ±20 V max, supporting standard 15 V gate drive.
The device exhibits low conduction loss (VCE(sat) = 2.2 V at IC = 30 A, TJ = 125 °C) and moderate switching energy (Eon + Eoff = 1.9 mJ at VCC = 480 V, IC = 18 A, RG = 23 Ω), optimized for cost-sensitive 3–15 kHz industrial switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE(max) | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus systems with 50 % safety margin |
| IC(cont) @ TC = 100 °C | 30 A - continuous collector current rating for heatsink-mounted operation |
| VCE(sat) @ IC = 30 A, TJ = 125 °C | 2.2 V - determines conduction loss of 66 W at full load in worst-case thermal condition |
| Eon + Eoff @ VCC = 480 V, IC = 18 A | 1.9 mJ - defines total switching loss per cycle at rated voltage and mid-range current |
| RthJC | 0.83 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance enabling 24 W dissipation at ΔT = 20 °C rise |
| QG(tot) | 180 nC - total gate charge defining required gate driver peak current and drive power |
| ton/toff | 120 ns / 300 ns - turn-on/turn-off delays under standard 15 V gate drive and 23 Ω gate resistor |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package: isolated metal tab (Collector), 4-pin single-side leadframe with internal Collector double-bonding for enhanced current handling and thermal robustness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives voltage-controlled signal to modulate collector-emitter conduction; requires 5–15 V drive relative to emitter |
| 2 (Collector) | High-side power input | Connects to positive DC bus; electrically tied to metal tab for direct heatsink mounting |
| 3 (Emitter) | Power return reference | Serves as common source node for gate drive and current sensing; referenced to system ground in low-side configuration |
| 4 (Collector) | Redundant high-current path | Dual Collector bond improves current sharing, reduces parasitic inductance, and lowers effective RDS(on) equivalent |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated anti-parallel diode | Soft-recovery FRED diode co-packaged with IGBT die enables self-commutated inverter leg without external diode |
| Low VCE(sat) drift over temperature | VCE(sat) increases only 0.5 mV/°C from 25 °C to 150 °C, improving current sharing in parallel operation |
| Robust short-circuit withstand time | 10 µs at VCC = 480 V, TJ = 150 °C - allows time for protection circuit activation before failure |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Pb-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound meet IPC-J-STD-609A Class 1 requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGW30H60DF | 600 V / 30 A trench-gate IGBT with 1.8 Ω RthJC, lower VCE(sat) = 1.8 V, but higher QG = 220 nC | Better conduction efficiency at light loads; slower switching limits use to ≤10 kHz | Select when priority is thermal performance over switching speed |
| IXYS IXGH30N60B3 | 600 V / 30 A PT IGBT with 1.2 Ω RthJC, VCE(sat) = 2.4 V, no integrated diode | Requires external diode; superior short-circuit ruggedness (15 µs) | Select when discrete diode placement is acceptable and fault tolerance is critical |
Compared with STGW30H60DF and IXGH30N60B3, the IRG4PC30SPBF offers balanced trade-offs: lowest gate charge among the three, built-in diode simplifies layout, and proven field reliability in 3–15 kHz motor drives-making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial inverters where gate drive simplicity and thermal margin are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IRG4PC30SPBF?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±15 V risks irreversible gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –10 V for active Miller clamping during turn-off to prevent false triggering. Gate resistors must be selected to limit peak current to <±5 A during switching transitions.
Does IRG4PC30SPBF include an integrated freewheeling diode?
Yes, it integrates a soft-recovery fast recovery epitaxial diode (FRED) in the same TO-247AC package. The diode shares the emitter terminal (Pin 3) and has VF = 2.2 V at 30 A and reverse recovery time trr = 120 ns, enabling self-commutated half-bridge operation without external diodes.
Can IRG4PC30SPBF be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes, but only with matched devices and symmetrical PCB layout. Key requirements include identical gate drive impedance (<±5 %), Kelvin emitter connections, and thermal coupling via shared heatsink. Derating to 25 A per device is recommended to maintain safe junction temperature under mismatched VCE(sat) and thermal gradients.
What is the short-circuit withstand capability of IRG4PC30SPBF?
It sustains short-circuit conditions for 10 µs at VCC = 480 V and TJ = 150 °C before thermal runaway. This requires fast-acting desaturation detection (<500 ns response) and gate shutdown within the specified time window to ensure reliable protection without device destruction.
