Product details
Overview
STGF3HF60HD from STMicroelectronics is a 4.5 A, 600 V very fast IGBT with integrated ultrafast soft-recovery antiparallel diode in TO-220FP package. It delivers low conduction loss (VCE(sat) = 2.45 V @ 1.5 A, 25 °C), minimal tail current, and stable Eoff vs. temperature-enabling high-efficiency motor drive inverters operating up to 100 °C case temperature.
For engineers reviewing the STGF3HF60HD datasheet, STGF3HF60HD pinout, STGF3HF60HD application, or STGF3HF60HD equivalent, this device is selected for compact, thermally constrained 3-phase BLDC and PMSM drives where switching loss, diode recovery behavior, and junction-to-case thermal resistance (6.9 °C/W) directly impact system efficiency and reliability.
Technical Context
This IGBT uses ST's advanced planar technology to achieve stable turn-off energy (Eoff = 12 µJ @ 25 °C, 400 V, 1.5 A) across temperature, with ultrafast diode recovery (trr = 85 ns @ 25 °C, 100 A/µs). Its gate threshold voltage (VGE(th) = 3.75–5.75 V) ensures robust noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
The device integrates a co-packaged diode optimized for soft reverse recovery (Qrr = 124 nC, Irrm = 3 A), minimizing voltage overshoot and EMI in inductive switching. Thermal resistance junction-to-case (6.9 °C/W for IGBT, 8 °C/W for diode) supports direct heatsink mounting in TO-220FP's insulated package.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
STGF3HF60HD is housed in a TO-220FP (Full-Pak) package with electrically insulated tab, enabling direct mounting to heatsinks without isolation hardware. The package features three leads: Gate (G), Collector (C), and Emitter (E).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control input | Accepts ±20 V gate-emitter voltage; 12 nC total gate charge requires driver capable of 1–2 A peak sink/source. |
| C | Collector (high-side switch node) | Connected to DC bus positive; rated for 600 V blocking and 18 A pulsed current. |
| E | Emitter (power ground reference) | Serves as common return for IGBT and integrated diode; defines gate drive reference point. |

| Ultrafast soft-recovery antiparallel diode | 85 ns trr, 124 nC Qrr - Enables zero-voltage switching (ZVS) assist and lowers EMI in inverter leg commutation. |
| Stable Eoff vs. temperature | Eoff increases only ~2× from 25 °C to 125 °C (12 → 35 µJ) - simplifies thermal design for wide ambient range. |
| Low VCE(sat) at high Tj | 1.85 V @ 1.5 A, 125 °C - Maintains conduction efficiency even under thermal stress. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGP3HF60HD | Same die, TO-220 (non-insulated tab); Rthj-case = 3.3 °C/W (IGBT), no electrical isolation. | Requires insulating washer/mica pad for heatsink mounting; higher thermal performance but added assembly complexity. | Select when maximum thermal efficiency is prioritized and isolation can be implemented externally. |
| FGB3040L | 400 V, 3 A IGBT + diode; lower voltage rating, higher VCE(sat) (2.7 V), no soft-recovery diode. | Limited to 300 V DC bus systems; exhibits higher EMI and voltage overshoot due to hard diode recovery. | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-power (<150 W), non-critical applications with tight voltage margins. |
Compared with STGP3HF60HD, STGF3HF60HD trades 3.6 °C/W higher thermal resistance for simplified mechanical integration; compared with FGB3040L, it provides 200 V higher blocking voltage, 30% lower conduction loss, and soft-recovery diode essential for EMI-constrained motor drives.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?
A 100 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for turn-on/turn-off timing measurements (td(on) = 11 ns, td(off) = 60 ns). Using >150 Ω increases switching time and losses; <50 Ω may cause ringing due to PCB inductance. For 20 kHz motor drive use, 47–68 Ω balances speed, loss, and stability.
Can STGF3HF60HD replace STGP3HF60HD in an existing design?
Yes, with mechanical adaptation: STGF3HF60HD uses the same die and pinout but has an insulated TO-220FP tab. No circuit changes are needed, but thermal interface material must be applied between the insulated tab and heatsink. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance increases slightly (62.5 vs. 100 °C/W), so verify heatsink sizing.
Is the integrated diode rated for continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation?
Yes-the diode is rated for 10 A RMS forward current at TC = 25 °C and 25 A surge (10 ms sine). Its soft recovery (trr = 85 ns, Qrr = 124 nC) is validated for CCM inverter freewheeling at ≤20 kHz, with measured VCE overshoot <15% of VCC under typical layout conditions.
Does STGF3HF60HD require negative gate voltage for turn-off?
No-turn-off is fully functional with 0 V gate drive. However, applying –5 V to –10 V improves noise immunity and reduces Miller-induced false turn-on risk in high-dv/dt environments (e.g., multi-kW inverters). The device supports ±20 V VGE, and –5 V is within safe operating limits.
