Product details
Overview
IRG4PC60FPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 60 A n-channel insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) in TO-247AC package, featuring 1.5 V typical VCE(sat) at 30 A and 15 V gate drive, 155 °C maximum junction temperature, and fast switching with 120 ns typical ton and 300 ns typical toff, designed for high-efficiency motor drives and industrial inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC60FPBF datasheet, IRG4PC60FPBF pinout, IRG4PC60FPBF application, or IRG4PC60FPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking voltage, 60 A DC collector current rating, 1.5 V VCE(sat) at rated current, thermal resistance RthJC of 0.35 °C/W, and gate charge QG of 120 nC - all critical for inverter stage design, thermal management, and gate driver sizing.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a punch-through (PT) structure with field-stop technology to balance conduction loss and switching speed. Its gate threshold voltage VGE(th) is 5.0 V (min), enabling robust noise immunity in noisy industrial environments, and it supports gate drive voltages up to 20 V for optimized turn-on loss reduction.
The device integrates an ultrafast co-packaged anti-parallel diode with soft recovery characteristics (trr = 200 ns typ), minimizing voltage overshoot during commutation. Its safe operating area (SOA) is specified up to 100 µs pulse width at TC = 125 °C, supporting short-circuit withstand capability in motor control protection schemes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 600 V - supports 400 V AC input rectified bus systems with 50 % safety margin |
| IC continuous | 60 A - enables 5–7 kW motor drive output at 15 kHz PWM with forced-air cooling |
| VCE(sat) | 1.5 V @ IC = 30 A, VGE = 15 V - reduces conduction loss to ~45 W at full load |

| RthJC | 0.35 °C/W - enables 73 W power dissipation with ≤90 °C heatsink temperature |
| QG | 120 nC - determines minimum gate driver peak current (≥2.4 A for 50 ns rise time) |
| TJ max | 155 °C - supports operation in industrial ambient up to 85 °C with derating |
Pinout & Package
IRG4PC60FPBF is housed in a TO-247AC package - a 3-lead, through-hole, thermally enhanced plastic package with isolated collector tab for direct heatsink mounting and low-inductance layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side power terminal | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits |
| Gate (G) | Control input for channel modulation | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal requiring low-inductance gate loop & RC snubber for EMI suppression |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and signal reference | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; requires Kelvin connection for accurate VCE monitoring |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low VCE(sat) | 1.5 V at 30 A ensures <45 W conduction loss in 5 kW inverter leg at 100 % duty |
| Fast switching with soft recovery diode | 300 ns toff + 200 ns trr limits voltage overshoot to <15 % of VCE rating under 60 A commutation |
| High short-circuit withstand time | 10 µs SOA at 125 °C case enables hardware-level fault response before controller intervention |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | "P" suffix confirms Pb-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound per JEDEC J-STD-020 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN60N60A3 | 600 V/60 A, 1.8 V VCE(sat), higher QG (145 nC), 0.45 °C/W RthJC | Higher conduction loss (+20 %) and slower switching limit usable frequency to ≤12 kHz | Preferred where lower gate drive complexity outweighs efficiency loss in low-speed drives |
| STMicroelectronics STGW60H65DFB | 650 V/60 A, 1.6 V VCE(sat), integrated diode trr = 250 ns, RthJC = 0.38 °C/W | Higher voltage rating adds margin for 480 V AC systems but increases cost and die size | Chosen when extended bus voltage headroom is required for regenerative braking or wide-input-range designs |
Compared with IXGN60N60A3 and STGW60H65DFB, IRG4PC60FPBF delivers the lowest VCE(sat) and best thermal resistance, making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-power-density 15–20 kHz industrial inverters where thermal budget is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRG4PC60FPBF?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V. Operation above +20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage, while negative voltage below −10 V may cause unintended turn-off due to Miller-induced coupling. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and −5 V to −8 V for active Miller clamping during switching transitions.
Does IRG4PC60FPBF include an integrated freewheeling diode?
Yes - it features a co-packaged ultrafast anti-parallel diode with soft recovery (trr = 200 ns typ, Qrr = 1.2 µC). This diode shares the same TO-247AC package and thermal path, eliminating discrete diode placement and reducing layout parasitics in bridge configurations.
Can IRG4PC60FPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) enables current sharing across paralleled devices. Successful implementation requires matched gate drive impedance (<±5 %), symmetrical PCB layout, and individual emitter resistors (0.01 Ω) for dynamic balancing. Derate total current by 15 % for 2-device parallel operation.
What is the short-circuit withstand time at 125 °C case temperature?
At TC = 125 °C and VCE = 480 V, IRG4PC60FPBF sustains rated current for 10 µs before failure. This is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A109 and supports hardware-based fault detection using desaturation sensing with ≤5 µs response time.
