Product details
Overview
IRG4PSH71KD from Infineon Technologies is a 1200 V, 78 A, 350 W trench-gate field-stop IGBT in TO-247AC package, designed for high-voltage hard-switching and resonant-mode power conversion. It delivers low conduction and switching losses in industrial motor drives, UPS inverters, and induction heating systems.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PSH71KD datasheet, IRG4PSH71KD pinout, IRG4PSH71KD application, or IRG4PSH71KD equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) @ 78 A, EON/EOFF at 400 V/78 A, short-circuit withstand time, gate charge QG, and thermal resistance RthJC.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs Infineon's TrenchStop™ 2 technology with field-stop layer optimization to achieve balanced conduction and switching performance at 1200 V blocking capability. Its gate threshold voltage VGE(th) of 5.0 V ensures robust noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
The device features a monolithic anti-parallel diode with soft recovery characteristics (trr = 390 ns, Qrr = 3.8 µC), enabling zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation in half-bridge topologies without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 1200 V - supports DC bus voltages up to 800 V in three-phase rectified systems with 50% safety margin. |
| IC @ TC = 25°C | 78 A - rated continuous collector current at case temperature ≤25°C for forced-air-cooled heatsink designs. |
| PD @ TC = 25°C | 350 W - maximum power dissipation under ideal thermal interface conditions; requires RthJC ≤ 0.43 °C/W heatsink solution. |
| VCE(sat) @ IC = 78 A | 2.7 V - low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss by ~18% vs. legacy 1200 V IGBTs at full load. |
| EON + EOFF | 3.2 mJ @ 400 V/78 A - enables 16 kHz switching in 3 kW motor drives without excessive thermal stress. |
| tsc @ TJ = 150°C | 10 µs - defined short-circuit ruggedness allows reliable overcurrent protection using fast desaturation detection circuits. |
| RthJC | 0.43 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance determines minimum heatsink size for 78 A operation at 100°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247AC (3-pin, isolated tab). Standard leadframe layout with collector (pin 1), gate (pin 2), and emitter (pin 3) terminals. Tab is electrically connected to collector.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Tab) | Collector (C) | High-side switching node; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system design permits common-collector topology. |
| Pin 2 | Gate (G) | Control input requiring ±20 V rating; 115 nC total gate charge demands ≥2 A peak gate driver for <100 ns turn-on. |
| Pin 3 | Emitter (E) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance PCB layout critical to avoid false triggering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchStop™ 2 process | Enables 1200 V blocking with 2.7 V VCE(sat), reducing conduction loss by 22% versus planar IGBTs at same current density. |
| Field-stop layer | Optimizes carrier lifetime for 3.2 mJ combined switching energy at 400 V/78 A, supporting 16–20 kHz PWM in UPS applications. |
| Monolithic anti-parallel diode | Soft-recovery diode (trr = 390 ns) eliminates need for external freewheeling diodes in half-bridge inverters. |
| Short-circuit ruggedness | 10 µs withstand time at 150°C junction temperature enables robust overcurrent protection using desaturation detection. |

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 IXGN75N120B3 | Higher VCE(sat) (3.2 V @ 75 A), lower EON but higher EOFF; 1200 V/75 A rating. | Better suited for lower-frequency (<8 kHz), high-current welder applications where conduction loss dominates. | Select if prioritizing ruggedness over switching efficiency at <10 kHz. |
| STMicroelectronics STGW75H12DF2 | Lower gate charge (95 nC), slightly higher VCE(sat) (2.85 V); includes integrated NTC thermistor. | Preferred for motor drives requiring real-time junction temperature monitoring and faster gate drive response. | Select when thermal feedback and reduced gate drive power are system requirements. |
Compared with IXGN75N120B3 and STGW75H12DF2, IRG4PSH71KD offers the lowest combined switching energy at 16 kHz while maintaining industry-standard TO-247AC footprint and proven reliability in 24/7 industrial UPS deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRG4PSH71KD?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±15 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and −8 V for turn-off to ensure fast, noise-immune switching with minimal Miller-induced false triggering.
Does IRG4PSH71KD require an external freewheeling diode?
No. IRG4PSH71KD integrates a monolithic anti-parallel diode with soft recovery (trr = 390 ns, Qrr = 3.8 µC), eliminating the need for discrete freewheeling diodes in standard half-bridge and full-bridge inverter configurations.
What is the typical short-circuit withstand time at 125°C junction temperature?
At TJ = 125°C and VCE = 600 V, the short-circuit withstand time is 15 µs - exceeding the 10 µs rating specified at 150°C due to reduced carrier mobility and lower current density at lower temperatures.
Can IRG4PSH71KD be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes. The device exhibits positive temperature coefficient for VCE(sat), enabling stable current sharing. Successful paralleling requires matched gate drive loop inductance (<15 nH), symmetrical layout, and individual gate resistors (10–15 Ω) to damp oscillations during turn-on/turn-off transitions.
