Product details
Overview
IRGBC30S from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 34 A continuous (18 A @ 100°C) insulated gate bipolar transistor optimized for line-frequency switching up to 400 Hz in AC motor drives and UPS inverters. It features 2.2 V VCE(sat) at 15 V gate drive and 18 A, 7.1 mJ total switching loss at 25°C, and TO-220AB package with 1.2 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.
For engineers reviewing the IRGBC30S datasheet, IRGBC30S pinout, IRGBC30S application, or IRGBC30S equivalent, key selection criteria include its low conduction loss at 50/60 Hz operation, clamped inductive load rating (68 A), gate charge profile (28–40 nC), and thermal performance under sustained case temperatures up to 100°C in industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The IRGBC30S employs a planar punch-through IGBT structure with integrated anti-parallel diode functionality, enabling robust clamped inductive switching (ILM = 68 A). Its gate threshold voltage (3.0–5.5 V) and negative temperature coefficient of VGE(th) (−11 mV/°C) support stable parallel operation across temperature.
Switching behavior is characterized by 26 ns turn-on delay and 820–1100 ns turn-off delay (TJ = 25°C, RG = 23 Ω), with tail-current-inclusive Eoff = 6.6 mJ - optimized for low-frequency hard-switched topologies where tail loss dominates total energy dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - supports 400 VAC line-fed systems with 100% margin against transients |
| IC @ TC = 25°C | 34 A - enables high peak current capability in short-duration motor startup |
| VCE(sat) | ≤2.2 V @ 15 VGE, 18 A - reduces conduction loss to ≤39.6 W at rated DC current |
| Ets @ 25°C | 7.1–10 mJ - defines total per-cycle loss in 50/60 Hz inverters with 480 V bus |
| RθJC | 1.2 °C/W - allows 83 W max power dissipation before reaching 150°C junction limit at 25°C case |
| Qg | 28–40 nC - determines gate driver current requirement (~1.4–2 A peak for 20 ns rise) |
| Cies | 700 pF - sets Miller capacitance impact on dv/dt immunity and gate oscillation risk |
Pinout & Package
IRGBC30S uses JEDEC TO-220AB package with isolated tab (collector-connected), 3-pin through-hole mounting, and 1.1 N·m maximum screw torque. Case is electrically connected to collector terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main high-side current path | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires insulating washer when mounted to heatsink |
| Emitter | Low-side return path for load current | Common reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical |
| Gate | Control input for MOS-controlled bipolar conduction | High-impedance node requiring <5.5 V threshold and 28–40 nC charge for full turn-on |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Line-frequency optimization | Rated for reliable 50/60 Hz and up to 400 Hz operation with minimized tail loss contribution |
| Clamped inductive load rating | 68 A ILM enables safe interruption of motor winding currents without external snubbers |
| Integrated thermal protection margin | 150°C max junction temperature with 1.2 °C/W RθJC supports derated operation in sealed enclosures |
| Gate drive simplicity | 15 V gate drive achieves full saturation; ±20 V absolute max eliminates need for complex level-shifting |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies |
|---|---|

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, 2.1 V VCE(sat), 22 nC Qg, TO-247 package | Higher peak current capability but larger footprint; lacks clamped ILM rating | Preferred for higher-power 3-phase inverters needing lower gate charge and better thermal spread |
| FGL60N100BNTD | 1000 V, 60 A, 2.7 V VCE(sat), 120 nC Qg, TO-264 package | Higher voltage rating and current, but significantly higher switching loss (Ets ≈ 22 mJ) | Selected only when 1000 V bus or >34 A continuous current is required; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with STGP30NC60WD and FGL60N100BNTD, the IRGBC30S delivers superior thermal efficiency at 50/60 Hz due to its tailored tail-loss reduction and lower RθJC, making it optimal for space-constrained, air-cooled industrial inverters where gate drive simplicity and reliability outweigh raw current density.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate resistor value for reliable turn-off?
The datasheet specifies turn-off delay (td(off)) and fall time (tf) tested with RG = 23 Ω. Increasing RG beyond 33 Ω extends tf nonlinearly and risks incomplete turn-off at high temperature. For 150°C operation, RG ≤ 27 Ω maintains tf < 1500 ns and avoids secondary breakdown in clamped inductive loads.
Does IRGBC30S include an integrated freewheeling diode?
No - the IRGBC30S is a standalone IGBT without monolithically integrated body diode. External ultrafast recovery diodes (e.g., ISL9R3060P2) must be used in antiparallel configuration for inductive load commutation. The device's clamped inductive load rating assumes proper external diode selection and PCB layout.
Can IRGBC30S be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes - its negative VGE(th) temperature coefficient (−11 mV/°C) enables stable current sharing. Successful paralleling requires matched gate resistors (±5%), symmetrical PCB layout, and individual emitter resistors (0.05–0.1 Ω) for dynamic balancing. Derate total current by 15% versus sum of individual ratings.
What is the recommended heatsink interface material for TO-220AB mounting?
A silicone-based thermal grease (e.g., Wakefield-Vette Sil-Pad 1000) with 0.5–0.8 W/m·K conductivity and 0.1 mm bond line thickness is recommended. Avoid epoxy adhesives - they impede thermal transfer and complicate rework. Mounting torque must not exceed 1.1 N·m to prevent package cracking or tab deformation.
