Product details
Overview
STGP15H60DF from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 15 A trench gate field-stop IGBT with integrated ultrafast soft-recovery antiparallel diode in TO-220 package. It delivers 1.6–2.0 V VCE(sat) at 15 A/25 °C, 3 μs short-circuit withstand time, and 103 ns diode reverse recovery time (TJ = 25 °C), enabling high-efficiency motor control inverters and PFC stages operating up to 20 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the STGP15H60DF datasheet, STGP15H60DF pinout, STGP15H60DF application, or STGP15H60DF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) temperature coefficient, RthJC = 1.3 °C/W, diode Qrr = 128 nC, safe paralleling capability, and TO-220 thermal performance under 100 °C case temperature constraints.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's proprietary trench gate field-stop structure optimized for high switching frequency converters, balancing conduction and switching losses. Its slightly positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution enable stable parallel operation without current imbalance.
Dynamic performance is characterized by 24.5 ns turn-on delay, 118 ns turn-off delay, and 136 μJ Eon + 207 μJ Eoff at 400 V/15 A/10 Ω gate resistance. The co-packaged diode features soft recovery (Irrm = 2.5 A, trr = 103 ns) to minimize voltage overshoot and EMI in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50 % safety margin. |
| IC (TC = 100 °C) | 15 A - Continuous collector current derated for industrial ambient; defines usable output power in forced-air-cooled motor drives. |
| VCE(sat) | 1.6–2.0 V @ 15 A/25 °C - Low conduction loss enables <1.5 W static dissipation per device at rated current. |
| tsc | 3–5 μs - Short-circuit withstand time at VCC ≤ 360 V; enables robust overcurrent protection without external desaturation sensing. |
| Qrr | 128 nC @ TJ = 25 °C - Low reverse recovery charge reduces turn-on losses of complementary switch and snubber stress. |
| RthJC (IGBT) | 1.3 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows 115 W total dissipation at TC = 25 °C, critical for heatsink sizing. |
| trr | 103 ns @ IF = 15 A, diF/dt = 100 A/μs - Ultrafast soft recovery minimizes voltage spikes and EMI in bridge-leg commutation. |
Pinout & Package
STGP15H60DF uses a standard TO-220 package with isolated tab (pin 2). The metal tab serves as the collector terminal and provides direct thermal path to heatsink. Pin 1 is gate (G), pin 2 is collector (C), and pin 3 is emitter (E).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate | Control input requiring ±20 V max; 81 nC total gate charge dictates gate driver peak current ≥ 8 A for 10 ns rise time. |
| Pin 2 (C / Tab) | Collector | High-side switching node; electrically isolated tab enables mounting without insulating washer while maintaining creepage/clearance. |
| Pin 3 (E) | Emitter | Power return and gate reference; low-inductance layout essential to suppress VGE ringing during fast switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench gate field-stop structure | Optimizes trade-off between VCE(sat) and switching speed for 10–50 kHz PFC and inverter applications. |
| Slightly positive VCE(sat) tempco | Enables stable current sharing in parallel configurations without active current balancing circuitry. |
| Ultrafast soft-recovery antiparallel diode | 103 ns trr and 2.5 A Irrm reduce commutation losses and EMI vs standard FRDs in 3-phase motor drives. |
| Short-circuit rated (3–5 μs) | Supports cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection using simple gate monitoring-no external desat detection needed. |
| Low RthJC = 1.3 °C/W | Permits higher continuous power density than TO-220FP variants (RthJC = 5 °C/W), reducing heatsink mass and cost. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: 3-phase inverter stage in 1–3 kW servo drives with 16 kHz PWM and air-cooled heatsinks.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGF15H60DF | Same die, TO-220FP package with RthJC = 5 °C/W and no isolated tab; lower power dissipation (30 W vs 115 W). | Used in space-constrained, low-power (<500 W) applications where heatsinking is via PCB copper, not external heatsink. | Select when footprint size is critical and thermal budget permits higher junction temperature at reduced current. |
| STGB15H60DF | Same die, D²PAK (TO-263) package with RthJC = 1.3 °C/W but surface-mount mounting; requires reflow-compatible PCB layout. | Preferred for automated SMT production lines and high-density power boards where through-hole TO-220 is incompatible. | Select for volume manufacturing with pick-and-place assembly and where thermal vias can replicate TO-220 tab performance. |
Compared with STGF15H60DF and STGB15H60DF, STGP15H60DF uniquely combines through-hole mechanical robustness, isolated-tab thermal efficiency, and legacy-compatible TO-220 footprint-making it optimal for field-serviceable industrial drives and retrofit designs requiring drop-in replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?
The datasheet specifies RG = 10 Ω for characterization, yielding td(on) = 24.5 ns and td(off) = 118 ns. For 16 kHz motor drive use, RG ≤ 15 Ω maintains Eon/Eoff balance and avoids excessive VGE ringing; values >22 Ω increase switching losses by >35 % and risk shoot-through in bridge configurations.
Can STGP15H60DF be paralleled without external current-sharing components?
Yes-its slightly positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution (±5 % on VCE(sat)) enable passive current sharing. ST recommends matched gate resistors (±1 %), symmetrical layout, and shared heatsink to achieve <10 % current imbalance at 15 A per device up to 175 °C junction temperature.
Is the integrated diode suitable for freewheeling in hard-switched topologies?
Yes-the ultrafast soft-recovery diode (trr = 103 ns, Qrr = 128 nC) is specifically qualified for freewheeling in hard-switched 3-phase inverters. Its soft recovery limits di/dt-induced voltage overshoot to <150 V above bus voltage, eliminating need for snubbers in 400 V systems.
What thermal interface material is recommended for the TO-220 tab?
ST specifies minimum thermal resistance of 0.25 °C·in²/W for the interface. A 0.1 mm thick, 1.5 W/m·K silicone-based thermal pad (e.g., Laird T-flex 200) or 0.05 mm cured thickness of non-silicone phase-change material (e.g., Henkel Gap Pad VOX) achieves Rth < 0.3 °C/W with 25 psi mounting pressure-ensuring full utilization of the 1.3 °C/W RthJC.
