Product details
Overview
STGF30H60DF from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 30 A trench gate field-stop IGBT with ultrafast soft-recovery antiparallel diode in TO-220FP package. It delivers 2.4 V VCE(sat) at 30 A/175 °C, 3 µs short-circuit withstand time, and 0.75 mJ total switching energy at 25 °C - optimized for high-frequency PFC, UPS, and inverter stages requiring low conduction-switching trade-off.
For engineers reviewing the STGF30H60DF datasheet, STGF30H60DF pinout, STGF30H60DF application, or STGF30H60DF equivalent, key selection criteria include its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient for safe paralleling, 0.58 °C/W IGBT junction-to-case thermal resistance, and integrated diode with 110 ns trr and 136 nC Qrr at 25 °C.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's proprietary trench gate field-stop structure to simultaneously minimize conduction loss (VCE(sat) = 2.4 V @ 30 A/175 °C) and switching loss (Ets = 1.45 mJ @ 175 °C). Its gate threshold voltage (VGE(th)) ranges 5–7 V with stable 0.9× normalization at −40 °C to 175 °C, enabling robust drive margin across industrial temperature range.
The monolithic antiparallel diode features soft reverse recovery (Irrm = 2.5 A, Qrr = 136 nC @ 25 °C), tightly coupled thermal path (RthJC = 2.5 °C/W for diode), and VF = 2.0–2.3 V @ 30 A - eliminating need for external freewheeling diodes in bridge-leg configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50 % voltage margin for transient overvoltage handling |
| IC (TC = 100 °C) | 30 A - continuous output current capability at elevated case temperature without derating |
| VCE(sat) @ 30 A/175 °C | 2.4 V - low on-state loss enabling >98 % efficiency in 10–50 kHz PFC stages |
| tsc | 3–6 µs - enables reliable short-circuit protection using fixed-time blanking without desaturation sensing |
| trr / Qrr | 110 ns / 136 nC @ 25 °C - reduces diode-induced voltage spikes and EMI in hard-switched inverters |
| RthJC (IGBT) | 0.58 °C/W - allows 260 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C, supporting compact heatsink design |
| Qg | 105 nC - defines gate drive power requirement (≈1.6 W @ 15 kHz, 15 V swing) for MOSFET-compatible drivers |
Pinout & Package
TO-220FP package (insulated tab, 3-pin vertical mount) with creepage ≥4 mm and thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main power output terminal | Electrically connected to metal tab - requires insulated mounting hardware and direct thermal interface to heatsink |
| Emitter | Power return and gate reference node | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical for dV/dt immunity |
| Gate | Control input for IGBT turn-on/off | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal; requires 15 V ±10 % drive and <10 Ω series resistance to control dv/dt and ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGP30H60DF | TO-220 (non-insulated tab); identical die but higher creepage risk in floating-ground systems | Requires insulating washer for heatsink mounting; unsuitable where isolation >4 mm is mandated | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs isolation requirements and mechanical mounting permits non-insulated tab |
| STGW30H60DF | TO-247 package; 0.45 °C/W RthJC; 15 % lower Eoff due to larger die area | Supports >50 A continuous current at TC = 100 °C; preferred for >15 kW systems with forced-air cooling | Select when thermal headroom is constrained or parallel device count must be minimized |
Compared with STGP30H60DF, STGF30H60DF provides certified insulation for safer floating-ground topologies, while STGW30H60DF delivers superior thermal performance and higher current scalability - choice depends on isolation compliance, heatsink capability, and system power density targets.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for STGF30H60DF?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V per datasheet DS8709 Rev 4. Operation above +15 V or below −10 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and −5 V to −10 V for turn-off to ensure fast, noise-immune switching and prevent Miller-induced false turn-on.
Does STGF30H60DF require an external freewheeling diode?
No. STGF30H60DF integrates a monolithic ultrafast soft-recovery antiparallel diode with 110 ns trr and 136 nC Qrr at 25 °C. This diode is co-packaged and thermally coupled to the IGBT die, enabling full-bridge and inverter-leg operation without discrete diodes.
How does the positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient improve paralleling reliability?
As junction temperature rises, VCE(sat) increases - causing hotter devices to naturally carry less current. This self-balancing behavior prevents thermal runaway during parallel operation, eliminating the need for emitter ballast resistors or complex current-sharing circuits.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for 16 kHz operation in a solar inverter?
For 16 kHz operation with 15 V gate drive, a 10 Ω gate resistor is validated in the datasheet (Figure 19 test circuit). This value achieves 160 ns td(off) and 60 ns tf at 25 °C, balancing switching speed against gate oscillation and EMI - adjust downward to 6.8 Ω only if gate driver can source/sink >2 A peak current.
