Product details
Overview
IRGB4620DPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 20 A (TC = 100°C) insulated gate bipolar transistor with integrated ultrafast soft-recovery diode in TO-220AB package. It delivers 1.55 V typical VCE(on) at 12 A/15 VGE, supports 5 µs short-circuit SOA, and operates up to 175°C junction temperature-designed for industrial motor drives, UPS inverters, and welding power stages.
For engineers reviewing the IRGB4620DPBF datasheet, IRGB4620DPBF pinout, IRGB4620DPBF application, or IRGB4620DPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its square RBSOA at 175°C, positive VCE(on) temperature coefficient for parallel operation, and low 25 nC total gate charge enabling efficient high-frequency switching in hard-switched topologies.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a trench-gate field-stop structure optimized for balanced conduction and switching losses. Its integrated diode features soft reverse recovery (trr = 68 ns, Qrr = 12 µC at TJ = 175°C) and low forward voltage (VF = 2.1 V typ. at 12 A), minimizing commutation stress in bridge configurations.
The device's 1.07 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance (TO-220AB) and rugged 5 µs short-circuit withstand capability enable reliable operation under transient overloads in unidirectional DC-link switching applications without external desaturation protection circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands full DC bus voltage in 400 V AC input rectified systems with margin. |
| IC @ TC = 100°C | 20 A - Continuous output current rating under real heatsink conditions in motor drive H-bridges. |
| VCE(on) typ. | 1.55 V @ 12 A - Low conduction loss enables >98% efficiency in 10–20 kHz PWM inverters. |
| tSC | ≥5 µs - Enables robust hardware-based short-circuit protection using fixed-time blanking. |
| TJ(max) | 175°C - Supports high ambient operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without derating. |
| Qg | 25 nC - Gate drive energy compatible with standard ±15 V IGBT drivers (e.g., IR2110, ISO5852S). |
| RθJC | 1.07 °C/W - Thermal path allows 70 W dissipation at 100°C case temperature per JEDEC JESD51-2. |
Pinout & Package
IRGB4620DPBF uses the TO-220AB package: isolated mounting flange, 3-pin vertical lead frame, 1.1 N·m maximum mounting torque. The plastic body provides creepage/clearance compliant with IEC 61800-5-1 for 600 V systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Left) | Collector (C) | Main high-side current path; electrically connected to metal tab-requires isolation washer when mounted to heatsink. |
| Pin 2 (Middle) | Gate (G) | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal; requires <22 Ω series gate resistor to limit dV/dt-induced turn-on during Miller plateau. |
| Pin 3 (Right) | Emitter (E) | Low-side reference node; ties to source of anti-parallel diode and serves as return path for gate drive current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Square RBSOA at 175°C | Supports 48 A clamped inductive load at 480 V without second breakdown-enables robust hard-switched flyback and resonant converters. |
| Positive VCE(on) tempco | Enables stable current sharing across ≥3 paralleled devices without emitter resistors in high-power motor drives. |
| Ultrafast soft-recovery diode | 68 ns trr, 19 A IRR, softness factor >1.2-reduces EMI and snubber losses in bidirectional energy transfer circuits. |
| 5 µs short-circuit SOA | Allows use of simple fixed-delay desat detection (e.g., DESAT pin on gate drivers) without complex current-sense amplifiers. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive | Inverter Systems |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output stage switch handling bidirectional energy flow during line/battery transitions. Use Value: Integrated soft diode eliminates need for external fast recovery diodes, reducing BOM count and layout area by 22 mm². |
| Welding Power Supply | Induction Heating |

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, TO-247, 2.2 V VCE(on), no integrated diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; higher conduction loss but higher current rating | Select when >25 A continuous current needed and board space allows discrete diode placement. |
| IXYS IXGN50N60B3 | 600 V/50 A, TO-247, 2.1 V VCE(on), no integrated diode, 10 µs SC SOA | Higher current capability but larger gate charge (95 nC); needs stronger gate driver | Select for high-power solar inverters where parallel device count must be minimized despite higher drive complexity. |
Compared with STGP30NC60WD and IXGN50N60B3, IRGB4620DPBF offers lower VCE(on) and integrated diode-reducing component count and conduction loss-but trades off peak current rating and gate drive simplicity for compact TO-220 footprint in mid-power industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?
A 22 Ω gate resistor is validated in the datasheet for 12 A operation at 15 V drive, yielding 31 ns turn-on delay and 24 ns fall time. Using >47 Ω increases switching losses by ≥35% and risks shoot-through in bridge configurations due to extended Miller plateau duration.
Does IRGB4620DPBF require a negative gate voltage for turn-off?
No-turn-off is fully achieved with 0 V gate drive. However, applying –5 V to –10 V improves noise immunity and reduces tail current during hard switching, especially in high-dV/dt environments like motor drives with long cable runs.
Can this IGBT be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive VCE(on) temperature coefficient ensures inherent current sharing. Successful parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, identical PCB trace lengths, and mechanical symmetry on the heatsink to maintain uniform thermal coupling across devices.
What is the thermal interface requirement between case and heatsink?
Use a thermally conductive grease (0.1–0.2 mm thickness) or phase-change pad with ≤0.5 °C·in²/W interface resistance. Mounting torque must be 1.1 N·m (10 lbf·in) to ensure optimal RθCS = 0.50 °C/W without damaging the TO-220AB package flange.
