Product details
Overview
STGFW30NC60V from STMicroelectronics is a 30 A, 600 V very fast IGBT in TO-3PF package, optimized for high-frequency switching up to 50 kHz with low CRES/CIES ratio and 1.8 V typical VCE(sat) at 20 A/25 °C. It serves as the main power switch in resonant and soft-switching topologies including HF SMPS, PFC, and UPS inverters.
For engineers reviewing the STGFW30NC60V datasheet, STGFW30NC60V pinout, STGFW30NC60V application, or STGFW30NC60V equivalent, key selection criteria include turn-off delay (100 ns typ.), total gate charge (100 nC), thermal resistance (1.56 °C/W), and insulation withstand voltage (2500 VRMS) - all critical for high-reliability, high-frequency power conversion design.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's PowerMESH™ process to achieve simultaneous optimization of conduction loss (1.8 V VCE(sat)) and switching speed (Eon = 220 µJ, Eoff = 330 µJ at 390 V/20 A). Its low CRES/CIES ratio (50/2200 pF) suppresses cross-conduction risk in bridge configurations.
The device supports hard-switching and resonant operation up to 50 kHz, with rated junction temperature range of –55 to 150 °C and guaranteed turn-off latching current of 100 A under Vclamp = 480 V, Tj = 150 °C, RG = 10 Ω, VGE = 15 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - maximum blocking voltage; enables use in 400 V DC bus systems with 50% safety margin |
| IC (25 °C) | 36 A - continuous collector current rating at case temperature 25 °C; derates to 18 A at 100 °C |
| VCE(sat) | 1.8 V (typ.) at 20 A/25 °C - defines conduction loss and thermal load in on-state |
| Eoff | 330 µJ (typ.) at 390 V/20 A - quantifies energy dissipated during turn-off; critical for thermal design at high frequency |
| Rthj-case | 1.56 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance; determines heatsink sizing for 80 W max power dissipation |
| CRES/CIES | 50/2200 pF - low reverse transfer capacitance relative to input capacitance; reduces Miller-induced false turn-on risk |
| VISO | 2500 VRMS - isolation voltage between leads and heat sink; satisfies reinforced insulation requirements for industrial SMPS |
Pinout & Package
STGFW30NC60V uses the TO-3PF package: insulated metal tab with three leads, designed for direct mounting to heatsinks while maintaining electrical isolation. The package provides 2500 VRMS insulation and low thermal resistance (1.56 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side power terminal | Connected to DC bus positive in half-bridge; carries full load current and withstands 600 V blocking |
| Emitter (E) | Power return path and reference node | Serves as source of gate drive return and current sense reference; low-inductance layout essential for stability |
| Gate (G) | Control input for IGBT switching | Requires 15 V drive for full enhancement; gate charge of 100 nC dictates driver strength and rise/fall time control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very fast switching | Turn-off delay td(off) = 100 ns (typ.) and total switching time < 200 ns enable 50 kHz operation with minimal dead-time penalty |
| Low CRES/CIES ratio | 50/2200 pF minimizes Miller feedback, reducing need for negative gate bias or active Miller clamping in bridge designs |
| High current capability | 36 A continuous rating at 25 °C supports high-power density in compact UPS and motor drive modules |
| PowerMESH™ technology | Optimizes trade-off between VCE(sat) and switching losses - 1.8 V conduction drop with 550 µJ total switching energy at 20 A |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGH30N60B3 | Higher VCE(sat) (2.2 V typ.), lower CRES/CIES (35/1800 pF), same 600 V/30 A rating | Better cross-conduction immunity but higher conduction loss; suited for ultra-low-noise resonant converters | Select when Miller immunity outweighs conduction loss sensitivity; verify gate drive compatibility with 120 nC Qg |
| Infineon IKP30N60T | Lower Eoff (240 µJ), higher gfs (20 S), but higher VCE(sat) (2.0 V) and no isolation rating | Designed for hard-switched topologies only; lacks 2500 VRMS isolation required for transformerless SMPS | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial drives where heatsink isolation is handled externally; avoid in isolated AC/DC designs |
Compared with IXGH30N60B3 and IKP30N60T, STGFW30NC60V uniquely balances low VCE(sat), low CRES/CIES, and certified 2500 VRMS isolation - making it the only option qualified for both high-efficiency resonant SMPS and isolated PFC stages without external insulation barriers.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable turn-off at 50 kHz?
A 3.3 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for switching characterization at 390 V/20 A. At 50 kHz, this value ensures adequate dV/dt control while limiting turn-off delay to 100 ns (typ.) and preventing oscillation. Higher values increase switching loss and risk incomplete turn-off; lower values require stronger gate drivers to handle 100 nC charge.
Does STGFW30NC60V support short-circuit ruggedness testing per IEC 60747-9?
Yes - the device is characterized for turn-off latching current of 100 A under Vclamp = 480 V, Tj = 150 °C, RG = 10 Ω, and VGE = 15 V. This meets IEC 60747-9 Class 2 short-circuit ruggedness requirements for 10 µs fault duration, enabling use in motor drives with integrated desaturation protection.
Can STGFW30NC60V be used in a non-isolated buck converter?
No - the TO-3PF package integrates an insulated metal tab rated for 2500 VRMS isolation, but its internal construction and test conditions assume heatsink isolation. In non-isolated buck topologies, the collector connects directly to input voltage, making the isolation feature irrelevant and potentially misleading; a standard TO-247 IGBT would be more appropriate and cost-effective.
Is there a recommended gate drive voltage range for optimal performance?
The datasheet specifies ±20 V absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage, with 15 V recommended for full enhancement and reliable noise immunity. Operation below 13 V increases VCE(sat) and switching losses; above 16 V yields diminishing returns and risks accelerated gate oxide degradation over lifetime. A 15 V ±0.5 V regulated supply is optimal.
