Product details
Overview
STGP3HF60HD from STMicroelectronics is a 4.5 A, 600 V very fast IGBT with integrated ultrafast soft-recovery antiparallel diode in TO-220 package. It delivers low conduction loss (VCE(sat) = 1.85 V @ Tj = 125 °C), minimal tail current, and fast switching (td(off) = 69 ns @ 125 °C), enabling high-efficiency motor drive inverters operating up to 20 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the STGP3HF60HD datasheet, STGP3HF60HD pinout, STGP3HF60HD application, or STGP3HF60HD equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (Rthj–case = 6.9 °C/W for IGBT), co-pack diode recovery performance (Qrr = 194 nC @ 125 °C), gate charge (Qg = 12 nC), and SOA-limited turn-off energy (Eoff = 35 µJ @ 125 °C).
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's advanced planar technology to stabilize Eoff versus temperature and reduce VCE(sat) drift across –40 °C to 150 °C. Its monolithic integration with an ultrafast diode eliminates external diode matching concerns while maintaining soft reverse recovery (trr = 114 ns @ 125 °C) and low Irrm (3.5 A).
The device operates with ±20 V gate-emitter voltage rating and exhibits low input capacitance (Cies = 152 pF) and reverse transfer capacitance (Cres = 3 pF), supporting robust gate drive design at high dv/dt. Thermal resistance junction-to-case is specified separately for IGBT (6.9 °C/W) and diode (8 °C/W) sections.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 400 V in 3-phase motor drives with 50 % safety margin. |
| IC(100 °C) | 4.5 A - Continuous collector current derated for operation at 100 °C case temperature, suitable for sealed enclosure designs. |
| VCE(sat) | 1.85 V @ Tj = 125 °C - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss in 1–5 kW inverter stages. |
| Eoff | 35 µJ @ Tj = 125 °C - Turn-off energy defines heatsink sizing and switching frequency limit in hard-switched topologies. |
| Qg | 12 nC - Total gate charge determines required peak gate drive current (e.g., 1.2 A for 10 ns rise time). |
| trr / Qrr | 114 ns / 194 nC @ 125 °C - Ultrafast diode recovery minimizes commutation losses and voltage overshoot during freewheeling. |
| Rthj–case | 6.9 °C/W (IGBT) - Enables thermal design with standard TO-220 heatsinks for ≤18 W dissipation at 25 °C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
STGP3HF60HD uses a TO-220 (Type A) through-hole package with isolated mounting tab. The case is electrically connected to the collector terminal, requiring insulated mounting hardware when used in high-side configurations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output node, tied to heatsink tab | High-current path carrying motor phase current; tab must be electrically isolated unless referenced to system ground. |
| Gate (G) | Control input for IGBT channel | Low-impedance MOS-gated interface requiring <20 V drive; sensitive to ESD and ringing-needs local RC snubber or gate resistor. |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference for gate drive | Serves as common source for IGBT and cathode for integrated diode; must maintain low-inductance connection to driver ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Minimal tail current | Reduces turn-off energy (Eoff) by >30 % vs conventional IGBTs, enabling higher switching frequencies without excessive heating. |
| Ultrafast soft-recovery antiparallel diode | Qrr = 194 nC and trr = 114 ns @ 125 °C ensure low-voltage overshoot and reduced EMI during inductive turn-off commutation. |
| Stable Eoff vs temperature | Eoff increases only ~2× from 25 °C to 125 °C (12 → 35 µJ), simplifying thermal management in variable-load motor applications. |
| Low VCE(sat) drift | VCE(sat) rises only 0.45 V from 25 °C to 125 °C (1.4 → 1.85 V), preserving efficiency across full industrial temperature range. |
| ECOPACK® compliant | Meets RoHS and halogen-free requirements per ST's ECOPACK® Grade 2 specification, supporting green manufacturing compliance. |
Applications
| Fan & Pump Inverters | Industrial BLDC Drives |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Single-phase inverter stage driving 200–800 W permanent-magnet fan or circulation pump in HVAC systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in half-bridge output stage, operating at 8–16 kHz PWM with synchronous rectification via integrated diode. Use Value: Soft diode recovery prevents voltage spikes on 400 V DC bus; low VCE(sat) maintains >95 % efficiency at full load and 60 °C ambient. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Upper-leg switch in each phase leg, handling peak currents up to 18 A with short-circuit withstand capability. Use Value: Stable Eoff vs temperature allows fixed gate resistor tuning across –25 °C to 70 °C cabinet environment without derating. |
| Home Appliance Motor Controls | Small Power UPS Outputs |
|
Use Scenario: Washing machine drum drive inverter with field-oriented control (FOC) and sensorless rotor position estimation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side IGBT in three-phase bridge, switching at 12 kHz with precise dead-time control to avoid shoot-through. Use Value: Minimal tail current enables clean zero-crossing detection during current sampling; integrated diode eliminates discrete diode footprint and parasitic inductance. |
Use Scenario: Online double-conversion UPS output stage delivering clean 230 VAC sine wave from 380 V DC bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output switch in H-bridge configuration, conducting bidirectional current during sinusoidal PWM regeneration cycles. Use Value: Symmetrical Qrr and low Irrm ensure balanced conduction losses in both directions; TO-220 package supports forced-air cooling in compact 1 kVA chassis. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT-based motor drive applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGF3HF60HD | Same die, TO-220FP package with insulated tab; Rthj–case = 3.3 °C/W (IGBT) | Enables direct heatsink mounting without insulator; better thermal performance but requires PCB cutout for tab clearance. | Select when thermal budget is tight and mechanical isolation is not required. |
| IRGB8B60KDPBF | 600 V, 8 A IGBT with FRD; higher IC, larger Cres (6 pF), no Qrr spec at 125 °C | Higher current rating suits 1.5× power scaling; less predictable diode behavior above 100 °C limits high-temp reliability. | Select only if higher continuous current is mandatory and thermal margin exceeds 25 °C. |
Compared with STGP3HF60HD, STGF3HF60HD offers superior thermal resistance but sacrifices mounting flexibility, while IRGB8B60KDPBF trades diode predictability for raw current headroom-neither matches ST's stable Eoff vs temperature or soft recovery at elevated junction temperatures.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching at 15 kHz?
A 100 Ω gate resistor is validated in the datasheet for 1.5 A inductive switching at 400 V and 15 kHz. Using >120 Ω increases td(off) beyond 75 ns and raises Eoff by >15 %, risking thermal runaway at full load. For 15 kHz operation, keep RG between 47 Ω and 100 Ω with active gate driving.
Can STGP3HF60HD replace STGD3HF60HDT4 in a DPAK-based PCB layout?
No-STGP3HF60HD uses TO-220 packaging with 2.54 mm lead pitch and 15.5 mm body height, while STGD3HF60HDT4 is DPAK (TO-252) with 2.28 mm pitch and 2.4 mm height. Footprint, thermal pad, and mounting hole patterns are incompatible; board redesign is required.
Does the integrated diode support bidirectional current in regenerative braking?
Yes-the ultrafast diode is rated for 10 A RMS forward current and 25 A non-repetitive surge (tp = 10 ms). Its soft recovery (Irrm = 3.5 A @ 125 °C) and low Qrr enable efficient energy回馈 during motor deceleration without excessive voltage overshoot on the DC bus.
Is STGP3HF60HD qualified for industrial temperature range operation?
Yes-it is specified for Tj = –40 °C to 150 °C and tested per industrial standards. Key parameters including VCE(sat), Eoff, and Qrr are guaranteed across this range, and the TO-220 package meets JEDEC JESD22-A108F for temperature cycling endurance.
