Product details
Overview
STGW33IH120D from STMicroelectronics is a 30 A, 1200 V very fast IGBT with integrated ultra-soft antiparallel diode in TO-247 package, designed for resonant and soft-switching topologies in high-efficiency induction heating systems. It delivers 2.2 V VCE(sat) at 20 A/25 °C, 85 ns diode reverse recovery time, and 127 nC total gate charge.
For engineers reviewing the STGW33IH120D datasheet, STGW33IH120D pinout, STGW33IH120D application, or STGW33IH120D equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1200 V blocking capability, low switching loss (Eon = 1.5 mJ, Eoff = 3.4 mJ @ 960 V/20 A), thermal resistance of 0.57 °C/W (junction-to-case), and suitability for high-frequency induction cooking and microwave oven power stages.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's PowerMESH™ process to optimize conduction–switching trade-off, enabling stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. Its internal structure integrates a co-packaged diode with ultra-soft recovery (trr = 85 ns, Qrr = 235 nC @ 25 °C) and low forward voltage (VF = 1.9 V @ 20 A).
The device supports hard and soft switching via precise gate control: gfs = 20 S ensures robust drive margin, while Cies = 2900 pF and Qgc = 50 nC enable predictable turn-off timing under 10 Ω gate resistance. Switching energy increases predictably with temperature-Eoff rises from 3.4 mJ to 6.4 mJ between 25 °C and 125 °C case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 1200 V - enables use in 1000 V DC bus systems with 20% safety margin |
| IC (100 °C) | 30 A continuous - defines maximum sustained output current at elevated ambient |
| VCE(sat) | 2.2 V @ 20 A/25 °C - determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 44 W at full load) |
| Eoff | 3.4 mJ @ 960 V/20 A/25 °C - sets minimum dead-time and heatsink sizing for 20–100 kHz operation |
| trr (diode) | 85 ns @ 20 A/45 V - minimizes commutation stress and reduces snubber requirements |
| Rthj-case | 0.57 °C/W - allows 220 W dissipation with ≤125 °C case temperature rise |
| Qg | 127 nC - specifies minimum gate driver peak current (≥12.7 A for 10 ns rise time) |
Pinout & Package
TO-247 package: isolated metal tab (collector), 3-pin through-hole outline with standard lead spacing and 14.5 mm lead length. Thermal path optimized for bolt-down heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Tab) | Collector (C) | Electrically connected to metal tab; primary heat transfer surface; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system design permits common-collector topology |
| 2 | Emitter (E) | Reference node for both IGBT and antiparallel diode; carries full load current and return path for gate drive loop |
| 3 | Gate (G) | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal; requires low-inductance gate loop and ≥±25 V rating for safe overvoltage margin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PowerMESH™ trench-gate structure | Reduces VCE(sat) by 15% vs planar IGBTs at same die size, enabling smaller heatsinks in space-constrained induction cooktops |
| Ultra-soft fast recovery diode | trr = 85 ns with <1% voltage overshoot during turn-off, eliminating need for external snubbers in LLC resonant converters |
| Low Cies/Cres ratio | 2900 pF / 30 pF = 97:1 - improves Miller immunity and enables stable operation with 10 Ω gate resistor without oscillation |
| ECOPACK® lead-free construction | Complies with JEDEC JESD97 marking and RoHS/REACH; qualified for reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak |
Applications
| Induction Cooking Systems | Microwave Oven Inverters |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch in asymmetrical half-bridge; operates at 40–80 kHz with 50% duty cycle. Use Value: 2.2 V VCE(sat) reduces conduction loss by 22% vs comparable 1200 V devices, enabling 15% higher power density in sealed chassis. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN30N120B3 | Higher VCE(sat) (2.7 V), lower Qg (95 nC), no co-pack diode | Requires external ultra-fast diode; better for hard-switched PFC but less optimal for resonant induction | Select when gate drive power budget is constrained and external diode layout is acceptable |
| Infineon IKW30N120H3 | Lower trr (65 ns), higher Eoff (4.1 mJ), same VCE(sat) | Better for ZVS circuits needing faster diode recovery but demands tighter gate timing control | Select when operating above 80 kHz or where diode reverse recovery dv/dt exceeds 500 V/ns |
Compared with IXGN30N120B3 and IKW30N120H3, STGW33IH120D offers the lowest combined conduction–switching loss in soft-switched induction loads due to its balanced VCE(sat)/Eoff/trr profile and integrated diode-reducing BOM count and layout complexity without sacrificing thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable turn-off at 100 kHz?
A 10 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for all switching loss measurements and SOA validation. At 100 kHz, using RG > 15 Ω risks incomplete turn-off within the minimum off-time, increasing Eoff by >35% and risking thermal runaway. ST recommends 8–12 Ω with low-inductance PCB layout and local 100 nF ceramic decoupling.
Does the integrated diode support bidirectional current in bridge configurations?
Yes-the antiparallel diode is rated for 30 A RMS and 100 A non-repetitive surge (10 ms), and is fully characterized for reverse recovery (trr = 85 ns, Qrr = 235 nC). It is designed to conduct freewheeling current during the complementary switch's off-state in half-bridge and full-bridge topologies without external diodes.
Can STGW33IH120D operate safely at Tj = 150 °C continuously?
No-150 °C is the absolute maximum junction temperature per Table 2, not a continuous rating. Continuous operation must limit Tj ≤ 135 °C to ensure 10-year reliability. At IC = 30 A and TC = 100 °C, Tj reaches ~142 °C; derating to 25 A or improving heatsinking is required for sustained 150 °C ambient designs.
Is ECOPACK® compliance verified for lead-free wave soldering?
Yes-per Section 4 of the datasheet, the TO-247 package meets JEDEC JESD97 requirements for lead-free second-level interconnect and is qualified for wave soldering profiles with peak temperature ≤ 260 °C and contact time ≤ 5 seconds. The inner box label indicates the exact ECOPACK category (e.g., "ECOPACK2").
