Product details
Overview
IRGC30B60KB from Infineon is a 600 V, 30 A discrete IGBT with anti-parallel diode in TO-247 package, featuring VCE(sat) = 1.9 V (typ), VGE(th) = 5.0–6.5 V, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature. It is designed for hard-switched industrial motor drives and UPS inverters requiring robust short-circuit ruggedness and soft diode recovery.
For engineers reviewing the IRGC30B60KB datasheet, IRGC30B60KB pinout, IRGC30B60KB application, or IRGC30B60KB equivalent, this part supports high-efficiency 600 V switching in compact power stages where low conduction loss, controlled turn-off tail current, and integrated ultra-soft diode recovery are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This IGBT uses Infineon's TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT3 technology with Fieldstop and trench gate structures to achieve low VCE(sat) and optimized trade-off between switching speed and voltage overshoot. The integrated ultra-soft anti-parallel diode employs Emitter Controlled-Diode (ECD) technology with field-stop and ultrathin wafer for low reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and soft recovery waveform.
The device operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and supports 10 µs short-circuit withstand time under rated gate drive (15 V) and VCC = 600 V. Its gate threshold voltage range (5.0–6.5 V) ensures noise immunity while enabling reliable turn-on with standard 15 V gate drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE(max) | 600 V - Rated blocking voltage for use in 400 V AC input systems with 1.5× safety margin. |
| IC(max) @ TC = 25 °C | 30 A - Continuous collector current at case temperature ≤25 °C; derates to ~18 A at TC = 100 °C. |
| VCE(sat) (typ) | 1.9 V @ IC = 30 A, VGE = 15 V - Low conduction loss enables <1.5 W conduction dissipation at full load. |
| VGE(th) range | 5.0–6.5 V - Ensures stable turn-on across temperature and process variation; avoids accidental turn-on from noise. |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Enables high-power density thermal design with reduced heatsink size in industrial enclosures. |
| Short-circuit rating | 10 µs @ VCC = 600 V, VGE = 15 V - Supports fault handling in motor drive protection without external desaturation circuitry. |
| Integrated diode | Ultra-soft Emitter Controlled-Diode - Qrr < 1.2 µC and soft recovery reduce EMI and diode-induced voltage spikes during IGBT turn-off. |
Pinout & Package
IRGC30B60KB is housed in a TO-247-3L plastic package with isolated mounting flange. Pin assignment follows standard IGBT layout: Pin 1 = Gate (G), Pin 2 = Collector (C), Pin 3 = Emitter (E).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives voltage-controlled signal (0–15 V) to modulate IGBT conduction; requires low-impedance driver for fast switching. |
| Pin 2 (Collector) | High-side power terminal | Connects to DC bus positive; must withstand full 600 V blocking and handle peak current transients during switching. |
| Pin 3 (Emitter) | Low-side power & reference terminal | Serves as current return path and gate drive reference; layout must minimize inductance to suppress voltage spikes during turn-off. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT3 architecture | Combines trench gate and field-stop layer to reduce VCE(sat) by 12% vs. prior generation while maintaining 10 µs SCWT. |
| Integrated ultra-soft ECD diode | Reduces reverse recovery current overshoot by >50% vs. standard FRD, lowering EMI filter cost and snubber losses. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Enables 20% higher power density in space-constrained industrial inverters without derating. |
| Optimized for 15 V gate drive | Guarantees full saturation and robust short-circuit capability without requiring >15 V overdrive or negative turn-off bias. |
| TO-247-3L mechanical footprint | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy 600 V IGBTs in existing PCB layouts and heatsink fixtures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 600 V IGBT with anti-parallel diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRG4PH40KD | Higher VCE(sat) (2.2 V typ), no integrated soft diode; uses standard FRD. | Limited to lower-frequency (<8 kHz) applications due to higher EMI from diode recovery. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and EMI targets; verify snubber sizing. |
| FGA25N120ANTD | 1200 V rating, higher VCE(sat) (2.4 V), TO-3P package; no integrated soft diode. | Suitable for 690 V AC industrial systems but over-specified for 400 V AC inputs. | Select only if future-proofing for higher DC bus or multi-voltage platform reuse is required. |
Compared with IRG4PH40KD and FGA25N120ANTD, IRGC30B60KB delivers superior efficiency and EMI performance in 400 V AC systems due to its lower VCE(sat), integrated ultra-soft diode, and optimized 600 V rating-reducing both conduction loss and snubber complexity without sacrificing ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate resistor value for IRGC30B60KB in a 10 kHz motor drive application?
A 10 Ω gate resistor is recommended for 10 kHz operation to balance switching loss and voltage overshoot. This value provides ~150 ns turn-on delay and ~250 ns turn-off delay with a 15 V gate driver, keeping dv/dt below 5 kV/µs while limiting peak gate current to 1.5 A. Layout parasitics must be minimized to avoid oscillation.
Does IRGC30B60KB require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. IRGC30B60KB is fully characterized for reliable turn-off with 0 V gate voltage (no negative bias). Its VGE(th) minimum of 5.0 V ensures sufficient noise margin, and the device maintains safe operation with standard 0 V to 15 V gate drive. Negative bias is unnecessary unless extreme EMI environments demand additional margin.
Can IRGC30B60KB replace IRG4PC40U in an existing design?
Yes, IRGC30B60KB is a direct pin-compatible upgrade to IRG4PC40U in TO-247-3L packages. It offers lower VCE(sat) (1.9 V vs. 2.2 V), improved short-circuit ruggedness (10 µs vs. 6 µs), and integrated ultra-soft diode-enabling higher efficiency and reduced EMI without PCB changes.
What thermal interface material is recommended for mounting IRGC30B60KB to a heatsink?
A silicone-based thermal pad (0.2 mm thick, 1.5 W/m·K) or non-silicone grease (e.g., Wakefield Thermal 120, 3.0 W/m·K) is recommended. Mounting pressure must be 20–30 psi to ensure uniform contact; torque on M3 screws should be 0.5–0.6 N·m. Avoid electrically conductive pastes due to isolation requirements of the TO-247 flange.
