Product details
Overview
STGW30H60DFB from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 30 A trench gate field-stop IGBT with integrated ultra-fast soft-recovery anti-parallel diode in TO-247 package. It delivers VCE(sat) = 1.55 V (typ.) at IC = 30 A, TJ = 25 °C, Eoff = 293 µJ, and trr = 53 ns - optimized for high-frequency photovoltaic inverters and industrial DC-AC conversion stages.
For engineers reviewing the STGW30H60DFB datasheet, STGW30H60DFB pinout, STGW30H60DFB application, or STGW30H60DFB equivalent, key selection criteria include its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient for safe paralleling, RthJC = 0.58 °C/W (IGBT), and tight parameter distribution enabling robust multi-device designs in solar and UPS systems.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's proprietary trench gate field-stop structure to balance conduction loss (low VCE(sat)) and switching loss (minimized tail current, Ets = 676 µJ at TJ = 25 °C). Its integrated diode features soft reverse recovery (Qrr = 384 nC, dIrr/dt = 788 A/µs) and low forward voltage (VF = 2.0 V at IF = 30 A, TJ = 25 °C).
The device operates across TJ = –55 to +175 °C with ±20 V gate drive capability and exhibits stable transfer characteristics up to 175 °C (VGE(th) = 5–7 V). Its Cies = 3659 pF and Qg = 149 nC support controlled turn-on with 10 Ω gate resistance under 400 V bus conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands full DC bus voltage in 400–600 V PV inverter topologies without derating. |
| IC (TC = 100 °C) | 30 A - Sustains continuous output current at elevated heatsink temperatures typical in enclosed solar enclosures. |
| VCE(sat) (TJ = 25 °C) | 1.55 V (typ.) - Reduces conduction loss to ~46.5 W at 30 A, enabling >98% inverter efficiency at rated load. |
| Eoff | 293 µJ - Enables 20–50 kHz switching in hard-switched converters while limiting thermal stress on heatsink. |
| trr (di/dt = 1000 A/µs) | 53 ns - Limits voltage overshoot and EMI during diode commutation in bidirectional power flow stages. |
| RthJC (IGBT) | 0.58 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance for compact thermal design. |
| Qg | 149 nC - Determines gate driver peak current requirement (~15 A for 10 ns rise time with 10 Ω resistor). |
Pinout & Package
STGW30H60DFB uses the standard TO-247 package with 3 leads: Collector (pin 1), Gate (pin 2), Emitter (pin 3). The metal tab is electrically connected to the collector terminal and serves as the primary thermal path to the heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Tab) | Collector (C) | Main high-side power terminal; electrically and thermally coupled to heatsink; requires isolation washer if heatsink is grounded. |
| Pin 2 | Gate (G) | Control input requiring ±20 V rating; sensitive to ESD; must be driven with low-inductance layout to suppress oscillation. |
| Pin 3 | Emitter (E) | Power return path and reference for gate drive; carries full load current and diode reverse recovery current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | Enables stable current sharing when paralleling multiple devices without external ballasting resistors. |
| Tight parameter distribution | Reduces variation in VCE(sat), trr, and Qg across production lots - critical for consistent system-level timing and loss matching. |
| Minimized tail current | Lowers Eoff by 22% vs prior-generation HB series, reducing switching loss at 25 kHz and above. |
| Very fast soft recovery diode | Qrr = 384 nC and softness factor (tb/ta) > 2.5 suppress voltage spikes and reduce snubber losses in inductive loads. |
| Max TJ = 175 °C | Supports operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., rooftop PV inverters) without derating at full current. |
Applications
| Photovoltaic String Inverters | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side IGBT switch in H-bridge topology; controls PWM-modulated current into grid-tied transformerless output filter. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) and soft diode reduce conduction + switching losses to <1.2% total converter loss at 98% peak efficiency. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional DC-link switching in online double-conversion UPS systems with 400 V DC bus and 50/60 Hz output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: IGBT in inverter leg driving LC output filter; handles both battery discharge and rectifier regeneration modes. Use Value: Tight parameter spread ensures balanced current sharing across parallel legs during 10 ms overload transients. |
| Industrial Motor Drives | Induction Heating Systems |
|
Use Scenario: 3-phase inverter stage for 7.5–15 kW variable frequency drives controlling PMSM/IM motors at 2–10 kHz carrier frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Phase-leg switch managing sinusoidal PWM current; diode recirculates motor inductive energy during dead-time. Use Value: RthJC = 0.58 °C/W allows direct heatsink mounting with <1.5 K/W total thermal resistance, eliminating need for forced air cooling. |
Use Scenario: Half-bridge resonant inverter in 20–50 kW induction heating generators operating at 20–100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in ZVS topology; diode conducts reverse recovery current during zero-voltage turn-on transitions. Use Value: trr = 53 ns and low dIrr/dt minimize voltage spike amplitude (<150 V overshoot) and reduce snubber capacitor stress. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGWA30H60DFB | Same die, TO-247 long leads package; identical electrical specs but 5.1 mm longer leads for improved creepage in high-voltage PCB layouts. | Better suited for 1000 V reinforced insulation requirements in medical or railway traction auxiliary supplies. | Select when board-level clearance >8 mm is mandated and lead-forming is acceptable. |
| IXYS IXGN30N60B3 | 600 V/30 A trench IGBT with faster trr (35 ns) but higher VCE(sat) (1.8 V typ.) and no integrated diode - requires external SiC Schottky. | Preferred in ultra-high-frequency (>100 kHz) resonant converters where diode loss dominates over conduction loss. | Choose only when discrete diode optimization is required and gate drive can accommodate higher Qg (175 nC). |
Compared with STGWA30H60DFB, STGW30H60DFB offers shorter leads for lower parasitic inductance in compact inverter modules; versus IXGN30N60B3, it trades 0.25 V higher VCE(sat) for integrated diode simplicity and superior safe-operating-area margin at 175 °C.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching at 25 kHz?
A 10 Ω gate resistor is validated in the datasheet for VCC = 400 V, IC = 30 A, and TJ = 175 °C. Increasing beyond 15 Ω raises td(off) to >160 ns and increases Eoff by 35%, risking thermal runaway in sustained high-load operation. For 25 kHz, 8–12 Ω provides optimal trade-off between switching loss and EMI control.
Can STGW30H60DFB be paralleled without external emitter resistors?
Yes - its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution (±5% VCE(sat), ±7% trr) enable stable current sharing. Layout symmetry (matched gate and emitter loop inductance) is mandatory; empirical testing shows <8% current imbalance across two devices at 60 A total with 10 cm2 copper pour per emitter path.
Does the integrated diode support synchronous rectification in buck-derived topologies?
No - the antiparallel diode is optimized for inductive freewheeling, not unidirectional conduction. Its VF = 2.0 V at 30 A and soft recovery (tb/ta ≈ 2.7) make it unsuitable for high-frequency synchronous rectification where low VF and fast trr are essential. Use discrete SiC Schottky diodes instead.
What is the minimum gate-emitter voltage required to fully enhance the IGBT at TJ = 175 °C?
VGE(th) drops to 5.0 V (min) at TJ = 175 °C per Table 3. To ensure full enhancement and avoid linear-mode operation, VGE must exceed 7.5 V under worst-case conditions. ST recommends 15 V nominal gate drive with ±10% tolerance and active Miller clamp circuitry.
