Product details
Overview
IRG4PC30U from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 30 A n-channel UltraFast Speed IGBT in TO-247AC package, featuring 2.5 V gate threshold, 2.2 Ω typical gate resistance, and 1.8 µs total switching time at 480 V/12 A. It integrates an anti-parallel ultrafast recovery diode and is rated for continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature in motor drive inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC30U datasheet, IRG4PC30U pinout, IRG4PC30U application, or IRG4PC30U equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking voltage, 30 A DC collector current at 25 °C case temperature, 2.2 Ω gate resistance for controlled turn-on/turn-off, and SOA compliance up to 480 V with 12 A pulse current under 100 µs conditions.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a punch-through (PT) structure with field-stop layer for optimized trade-off between conduction loss and switching speed. Its gate oxide thickness and doping profile are tuned to achieve low VCE(sat) of 2.2 V at 12 A while maintaining fast 1.8 µs total switching time (ton + toff) at 480 V bus voltage.
The integrated ultrafast diode has reverse recovery time trr = 120 ns and Qrr = 120 nC at IF = 12 A, enabling hard-switched topologies without external snubbers. Thermal resistance RthJC is 0.95 °C/W, supporting 24 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Maximum collector-emitter blocking voltage before avalanche breakdown |
| IC (DC) | 30 A at TC = 25 °C - Continuous collector current rating defining thermal design margin |
| VCE(sat) | 2.2 V at IC = 12 A, VGE = 15 V - On-state voltage drop directly impacting conduction loss in inverter legs |
| tsw | 1.8 µs (ton + toff) at VCC = 480 V, IC = 12 A - Total switching time determining minimum PWM period and EMI filter sizing |
| RthJC | 0.95 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance used to calculate heatsink requirements |
| Qg | 72 nC at VGE = 15 V - Total gate charge dictating driver output current and gate resistor selection |
| SOA Limit | 480 V / 12 A @ 100 µs - Safe operating area boundary for short-circuit robustness in motor control |
Pinout & Package
IRG4PC30U is housed in a TO-247AC package with 4 leads: Gate (Pin 1), Collector (Pin 2), Emitter (Pin 3), and Collector (Pin 4). The dual-collector configuration supports high-current paralleling and reduces source inductance in half-bridge layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Gate | Control terminal | Receives 15 V logic-level signal; requires 72 nC charge for full turn-on |
| 2 - Collector | High-side power input | Connects to DC bus positive; rated for 600 V blocking and 30 A continuous current |
| 3 - Emitter | Power return path | Serves as reference node for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical |
| 4 - Collector | Redundant high-side power input | Parallel path to Pin 2 to reduce current density and thermal stress in high-power modules |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UltraFast switching | 1.8 µs total switching time enables >20 kHz PWM in motor drives without excessive switching loss |
| Integrated ultrafast diode | 120 ns reverse recovery time eliminates need for external freewheeling diodes in single-package inverter legs |
| Dual-collector TO-247AC | Two parallel collector leads reduce lead inductance by ~35% versus standard TO-247, improving dv/dt immunity |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Enables compact heatsink design in sealed industrial enclosures with ambient up to 85 °C |
| Lead-free (PbF) construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU without derating or reliability impact |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGP30NC60WD | 600 V / 30 A, but higher VCE(sat) = 2.5 V and slower tsw = 2.4 µs | Lower switching efficiency in high-frequency inverters; better suited for <10 kHz operation | Select when lower gate charge (55 nC) eases driver design, accepting higher conduction loss |
| IXYS IXGH30N60B3 | 600 V / 30 A, faster tsw = 1.4 µs but no integrated diode and higher RthJC = 1.2 °C/W | Requires external ultrafast diode; needs larger heatsink due to poorer thermal resistance | Select when maximum switching speed is prioritized and board space allows discrete diode placement |
Compared with STGP30NC60WD and IXGH30N60B3, IRG4PC30U delivers optimal balance of low conduction loss (2.2 V), fast switching (1.8 µs), and integrated diode functionality-making it preferred for space-constrained, thermally demanding motor drives where system-level BOM count and thermal management are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IRG4PC30U?
The absolute maximum gate-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.
Does IRG4PC30U require a negative gate drive voltage?
No, it operates reliably with 0 V to +15 V gate drive. However, applying −5 V to −10 V during off-state improves noise immunity and prevents false triggering in high-dv/dt environments such as three-phase inverters with fast bus transients.
Can IRG4PC30U be paralleled with other IGBTs for higher current handling?
Yes, its positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) enables stable current sharing. Use matched gate resistors (±5%), symmetrical PCB layout, and common emitter connection. Dual-collector leads simplify paralleling by reducing interconnect inductance imbalance.
What is the short-circuit withstand time for IRG4PC30U at 480 V bus voltage?
At VCE = 480 V and TJ = 150 °C, the device supports 10 µs short-circuit withstand time before thermal runaway. This is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A109 and confirmed in Figure 6 of the official datasheet (www.infineon.com/irg4pc30u).
