Product details
Overview
STGF35HF60W from STMicroelectronics is a 35 A, 600 V ultrafast IGBT in TO-220FP package, designed for high-frequency switching above 100 kHz. It features minimal tail current, low conduction losses (VCE(sat) = 2.0–2.5 V at 20 A, 25 °C), improved Eoff stability over temperature, and Rthj-case = 3.1 °C/W - enabling use in compact welding inverters and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the STGF35HF60W datasheet, STGF35HF60W pinout, STGF35HF60W application, or STGF35HF60W equivalent, key selection criteria include gate charge (Qg = 140 nC), switching energy at 125 °C (Eoff = 350 µJ), thermal resistance, and TO-220FP mounting compatibility with standard heatsinks.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's planar technology to tighten Eoff variation across temperature (±15% from −50 °C to 125 °C) and reduce tail current decay time (tf = 40 ns typ. at 25 °C). Its co-pack diode–free design requires external fast recovery diodes in inductive switching circuits.
It operates with ±20 V gate-emitter voltage rating and supports 150 A pulsed collector current under RBSOA-limited conditions. The device targets hard-switched topologies where VCE(sat) stability (1.65 V at 20 A, 125 °C) and low Cres (50 pF) reduce dynamic losses at high dV/dt.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 400 V in PFC and welding inverters with 50% safety margin. |
| IC (TC = 100 °C) | 12 A - Continuous output current capability at heatsink temperature of 100 °C, defining real-world thermal derating. |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0–2.5 V @ 20 A, 25 °C - Directly determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 40–50 W at full load), critical for efficiency in high-duty-cycle converters. |
| Eoff | 185 µJ @ 400 V, 20 A, 25 °C - Quantifies turn-off energy dissipation; increases to 350 µJ at 125 °C, guiding snubber and heatsink sizing. |
| Qg | 140 nC - Total gate charge required for full enhancement; sets minimum gate driver peak current (≥14 A for 10 ns rise time). |
| Rthj-case | 3.1 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance defines maximum allowable case temperature for 150 °C Tj operation (ΔT = 312 W × 3.1 = 96.7 °C rise). |
| Cres | 50 pF @ 25 V - Reverse transfer capacitance governs Miller effect; limits achievable dV/dt immunity and gate drive robustness. |
Pinout & Package
STGF35HF60W uses the TO-220FP (Full-Pak) package: insulated plastic case with metal tab electrically connected to collector, enabling direct heatsink mounting without insulating washers. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Collector (tab), Pin 3 = Emitter.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate | Control terminal; accepts ±20 V gate-emitter voltage; requires 140 nC total charge for full turn-on. |
| Pin 2 | Collector (Tab) | Main power input; electrically tied to metal tab; must be mounted to heatsink with thermal interface but no electrical isolation. |
| Pin 3 | Emitter | Power return path and reference for gate drive; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast switching with minimal tail current | tf = 40 ns (25 °C), reducing turn-off losses and enabling >100 kHz operation in resonant and hard-switched converters. |
| Stable Eoff vs. temperature | Eoff increases only 89% from 25 °C to 125 °C (185 → 350 µJ), easing thermal design versus legacy IGBTs with >2× increase. |
| Low VCE(sat) at high junction temperature | 1.65 V @ 20 A, 125 °C - Maintains conduction efficiency under thermal stress, critical for sustained welder arc stability. |
| TO-220FP insulated package | Integrated isolation eliminates need for mica washers; simplifies mechanical assembly and improves thermal contact reliability. |
| High gate threshold voltage | VGE(th) = 3.75–5.75 V - Reduces risk of spurious turn-on from noise or crosstalk in high-dV/dt environments like welding arcs. |
Applications
| Welding Inverters | High-Frequency PFC |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN35N60B3 | Higher VCE(sat) (2.7 V @ 20 A), higher Qg (220 nC), TO-247 package with non-insulated tab. | Requires electrical isolation hardware; less suitable for space-constrained TO-220FP footprints. | Prefer when higher surge current rating (ICP = 210 A) outweighs gate drive complexity. |
| Infineon IKP35N60T | Lower Eoff (140 µJ @ 25 °C) but significantly higher tail current (tf = 120 ns); TO-220FP with insulated tab. | Better efficiency at light load; worse thermal performance under sustained high-current switching. | Prefer for soft-switched topologies where tail current is mitigated by ZVS, not hard-switched welders. |
Compared with IXGN35N60B3 and IKP35N60T, STGF35HF60W delivers optimal balance of low tail current, stable high-temperature Eoff, and TO-220FP insulation - making it uniquely suited for thermally demanding, high-dV/dt welding and PFC designs where layout simplicity and thermal predictability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate resistor value recommended for reliable switching?
With Qg = 140 nC and typical gate drive voltage of 15 V, a 10 Ω gate resistor yields ~14 A peak current and ~30 ns turn-on delay - matching ST's test conditions. Values above 22 Ω increase switching losses significantly; below 5 Ω risks gate oscillation without proper layout. Thermal derating applies above 100 kHz.
Does STGF35HF60W include an integrated freewheeling diode?
No. STGF35HF60W is a standalone IGBT without co-packaged diode. External ultrafast recovery diodes (e.g., STTH30L06D) must be used in inductive load circuits to handle reverse recovery current and prevent destructive voltage spikes during turn-off.
Can this IGBT be used in 650 V DC bus applications?
No. Its absolute maximum VCES is 600 V with no safety margin for transients. For 650 V DC bus systems, ST recommends STGW40H65DFB (650 V, TO-247) or similar rated devices. Operating STGF35HF60W above 600 V risks immediate avalanche failure.
What is the meaning of the "W" suffix in STGF35HF60W?
The "W" denotes ST's high-frequency subset: devices optimized for operation above 100 kHz via tighter Eoff variation, reduced tail current, and enhanced thermal stability - distinguishing them from standard HF60 variants intended for ≤50 kHz applications.
