Product details
Overview
IRG4PC50UDPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600V, 55A, 200W N-channel IGBT in TO-247AC package, designed for high-efficiency hard-switching and resonant-mode power conversion. It features low VCE(sat) of 2.0V at 25°C and 55A, fast switching with tf = 85ns, and integrated anti-parallel FRD. Used in industrial motor drives and UPS inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC50UDPBF datasheet, IRG4PC50UDPBF pinout, IRG4PC50UDPBF application, or IRG4PC50UDPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE rating, continuous collector current, switching speed, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.55°C/W), and gate charge (QG = 125nC) for gate driver sizing.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs punch-through (PT) structure with field-stop layer for optimized conduction and switching trade-off. Its gate threshold voltage VGE(th) is 5.0V min at 25°C, ensuring robust noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
The device integrates a soft-recovery, ultrafast anti-parallel diode with reverse recovery time trr = 250ns and peak recovery dv/dt capability of 500V/μs, enabling reliable operation in bridge configurations without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 600V - supports DC bus up to 400V AC input rectified systems with 50% safety margin |
| IC cont @ TC=25°C | 55A - enables 11kW output in 3-phase motor drive with forced-air cooling |
| PD @ TC=25°C | 200W - defines maximum dissipation before thermal derating begins |
| VCE(sat) @ IC=55A | 2.0V typical - reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. older 2.7V IGBTs at same current |
| tf | 85ns - allows switching frequencies up to 20kHz in hard-switched PFC stages |
| RthJC | 0.55°C/W - requires heatsink thermal resistance ≤1.0°C/W for TJ ≤150°C at full load |
| QG | 125nC - determines minimum gate driver peak current ≥2.5A for 100ns turn-on |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package: 3-pin through-hole outline with isolated tab (collector connected to tab). Standard lead-free plating, RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main power output terminal | Electrically tied to metal tab; must be mounted to heatsink with electrically insulating thermal interface |
| Gate | Control input | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal; requires 15V ±10% drive and <10Ω series resistance to limit ringing |
| Emiter | Power return and reference | Serves as common emitter node for IGBT and anti-parallel diode; critical for low-inductance PCB layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(sat) | 2.0V at 55A/25°C - directly lowers conduction losses in high-current motor phases |
| Ultrafast soft-recovery FRD | trr = 250ns, softness factor >1.2 - suppresses voltage overshoot during diode commutation in inverter legs |
| Positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) | Enables inherent current sharing in parallel configurations - eliminates need for emitter resistors |
| Short-circuit ruggedness | Withstands 10μs at 10× rated current with VGE = 15V - supports protection circuitry response time in fault conditions |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGH50N60B3 | Higher VCE(sat) = 2.3V; lower QG = 95nC; no integrated diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; better suited for very high-frequency ZVS where gate drive loss dominates | Choose when optimizing for >50kHz operation and willing to manage discrete diode layout |
| STMicroelectronics STGW50H65DF | 650V rating; VCE(sat) = 2.1V; includes co-packaged diode but slower tf = 120ns | Better for 400VAC input systems needing higher voltage margin; less suitable for 20kHz+ hard switching | Prefer for new designs targeting 650V bus with relaxed switching speed requirements |
Compared with IXGH50N60B3 and STGW50H65DF, IRG4PC50UDPBF delivers optimal balance of conduction loss, switching speed, and integrated diode performance for 600V industrial inverters operating at 8–20kHz - making it the default choice where board space and EMI reduction are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The IRG4PC50UDPBF has a maximum rated junction temperature of 150°C. Operation above this value risks permanent degradation of the IGBT die and integrated diode. Derating curves in the official datasheet specify allowable IC versus TC; at TC = 100°C, continuous current drops to 32A to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C.
Does the integrated diode require separate gate control?
No. The anti-parallel diode is a monolithic, uncontrolled silicon PN junction integrated into the same die as the IGBT. It conducts automatically when forward-biased and recovers passively during reverse bias - no gate signal or external control is needed or possible.
Can IRG4PC50UDPBF be paralleled without emitter resistors?
Yes - due to its positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat), current sharing improves as temperature rises. Parallel operation is feasible with matched gate drive and symmetrical layout, though gate resistor matching (±5%) and identical thermal mounting are still required for stability under transient loads.
Is the TO-247AC package electrically insulated?
No. The metal tab is internally connected to the collector terminal. Electrical isolation from the heatsink must be achieved using an insulating washer or mica pad with thermal compound, or a fully isolated mounting kit. Failure to isolate will short the collector to chassis ground.
