Product details
Overview
IRG4PF50WD-201P from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 30 A, 1.7 V typical VCE(sat) short-circuit rated IGBT in TO-247AC package, designed for high-efficiency motor drives and UPS inverters requiring robust switching under repetitive avalanche conditions.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PF50WD-201P datasheet, IRG4PF50WD-201P pinout, IRG4PF50WD-201P application, or IRG4PF50WD-201P equivalent, key selection criteria include short-circuit withstand time (10 µs), gate threshold voltage (5.0 V), maximum junction temperature (175 °C), and unclamped inductive switching capability.
Technical Context
This IGBT features a non-punch-through (NPT) silicon structure with field-stop technology, enabling balanced conduction and switching losses. It integrates an anti-parallel ultrafast soft-recovery diode rated at 30 A and 1.8 V forward voltage.
Designed for hard-switched topologies up to 20 kHz, it supports gate drive voltages from 15 V to 20 V and exhibits 100 ns typical turn-on delay time with 15 V gate drive at Tj = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage before breakdown; enables use in 400 V DC bus industrial inverters. |
| IC (Tc = 100 °C) | 30 A - Continuous collector current at case temperature of 100 °C; defines thermal derating envelope. |
| VCE(sat) @ IC = 30 A | 1.7 V typical - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss in motor drive output stages. |
| tsc | 10 µs - Short-circuit withstand time at VCE = 400 V, Tj = 150 °C; enables reliable fault handling without desaturation circuitry. |
| Eoff | 1.2 mJ @ VCE = 400 V, IC = 30 A - Measured turn-off energy determines heatsink sizing in 16–20 kHz PWM applications. |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; sets upper limit for thermal design margin in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package: 3-pin through-hole outline with isolated tab (collector connected to tab), standard pin assignment for high-power discrete IGBTs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Collector) | Main power terminal | Connected to heatsink via isolated tab; carries full load current and must be electrically insulated from chassis. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal requiring 15–20 V drive; sensitive to ESD and ringing. |
| Pin 3 (Emitter) | Power return path | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical for dV/dt immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Short-circuit ruggedness | 10 µs withstand at 400 V and 150 °C junction temperature-enables simplified protection in variable-frequency drives. |
| Integrated freewheeling diode | Ultrafast soft-recovery diode co-packaged with 30 A rating-eliminates need for external diode in inverter leg designs. |
| Field-stop NPT structure | Optimized carrier lifetime control-delivers stable VCE(sat) over temperature and improves safe operating area (SOA). |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant Pb-free terminations per PD-95233 spec-meets industrial environmental compliance requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN30N60B3 | 600 V, 30 A, 2.2 V VCE(sat), no integrated diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; higher conduction loss in continuous conduction mode | Select when discrete diode optimization or higher dV/dt immunity is prioritized over BOM count. |
| STMicroelectronics STGW30H60DF | 600 V, 30 A, 1.8 V VCE(sat), integrated diode, 8 µs tsc | Reduced short-circuit margin limits use in high-fault-risk motor control without desat detection | Prefer for cost-sensitive solar inverters where fault duration is typically < 5 µs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRG4PF50WD-201P?
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-on due to Miller coupling. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –8 V for active Miller clamping during switching transitions.
Does IRG4PF50WD-201P require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, a gate resistor is mandatory to control dI/dt and suppress oscillation. For 15 V gate drive and 16 kHz switching, a 10 Ω series resistor is recommended. Lower values increase switching speed but raise EMI risk; higher values improve stability but increase switching losses proportionally.
Can IRG4PF50WD-201P be used in parallel configurations?
Parallel operation is not recommended without individual gate resistors and matched layout. The device lacks positive temperature coefficient in VCE(sat) above 100 °C, leading to current imbalance. If required, use dynamic current-sharing techniques and ensure ≤2 K thermal gradient between devices.
Is the TO-247AC package electrically isolated, and how is thermal performance affected?
The TO-247AC package has an electrically isolated collector tab, allowing direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without insulating pads. Thermal resistance Rth(j-c) is 0.55 K/W, meaning a 30 A, 1.7 V VCE(sat) condition generates ~51 W dissipation, requiring ≥0.35 K/W total system thermal resistance to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C at 100 °C ambient.
