Product details
Overview
STGW35NB60S from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600V, 35A (TC=100°C) PowerMESH™ IGBT in TO-247 package, featuring VCE(sat) ≤ 1.7 V at 20 A/125°C, low input capacitance (Cies = 1820 pF), and high pulsed current capability (ICM = 250 A). It serves as a main switching device in high-voltage AC-DC converters and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the STGW35NB60S datasheet, STGW35NB60S pinout, STGW35NB60S application, or STGW35NB60S equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) stability over temperature, gate charge (Qg = 83 nC), thermal resistance (Rthj-case = 0.625 °C/W), and turn-off SOA compliance at 480 V clamp.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's patented strip-layout PowerMESH™ structure to minimize conduction loss while maintaining robust short-circuit ruggedness. Its gate threshold voltage (VGE(th) = 2.5–5 V) enables reliable drive with standard 15 V gate drivers, and its low Cres/Cies ratio (27/1820 pF) supports fast, low-loss switching in hard-switched topologies.
The device is characterized for inductive-load switching at VCC = 480 V and IC = 20 A, delivering td(off) = 1.1 µs and Eoff = 7.4 mJ at 25°C - values that scale predictably to 11.5 mJ at Tj = 125°C, supporting thermal-aware design in compact heatsink layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands full mains-derived DC bus voltages up to 400 VAC RMS with margin for transients. |
| VCE(sat) max | 1.7 V @ 20 A, 125°C - Enables <1.7 W conduction loss per device at rated continuous current, reducing heatsink size. |
| IC (100°C) | 35 A - Sustains continuous motor-phase or welding-output current without derating below 100°C case temperature. |
| Qg | 83 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement (~1.25 mW average at 20 kHz, 15 V swing) and influences switching speed control. |
| Rthj-case | 0.625 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to heatsink with ≤125°C junction rise at 200 W dissipation, enabling passive-cooled designs. |
| Eoff | 7.4 mJ @ 25°C - Quantifies energy dissipated during turn-off under standard test conditions; critical for snubberless operation. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247 package: 3-terminal through-hole outline with isolated tab (collector), vertical lead spacing, and JEDEC-standard mechanical dimensions (L = 14.2–14.8 mm, D = 19.85–20.15 mm). Tab is electrically connected to collector.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main high-side current path | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires insulated mounting when referenced to non-ground potential. |
| Gate | Control electrode | High-impedance MOS-controlled input; requires 15 V drive for full saturation and 100 nA leakage at ±20 V. |
| Emitter | Current return path | Low-inductance emitter connection; critical for stable gate drive referencing and noise immunity in high-di/dt circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PowerMESH™ strip layout | Reduces VCE(sat) by 15% vs. conventional planar IGBTs at same die area, improving efficiency in 10–20 kHz inverters. |
| Low Cres/Cies ratio | 27/1820 pF - Minimizes Miller-induced gate oscillation and enables stable operation with moderate gate resistors (e.g., 100 Ω). |
| Turn-off SOA compliance | Rated for 80 A minimum current at Vclamp = 480 V and Tj = 125°C - Supports reliable short-circuit protection without external desaturation sensing. |
| ECOPACK® lead-free construction | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JESD97 marking requirements - suitable for environmentally compliant industrial manufacturing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGH35N60B3 | VCE(sat) = 1.8 V @ 25 A/125°C; Qg = 95 nC; Rthj-case = 0.65 °C/W | Slightly higher conduction loss and gate drive demand; identical 600 V/35 A rating | Preferred where legacy IXYS footprint compatibility is required; verify gate driver slew rate margin. |
| Infineon IKP35N60T | VCE(sat) = 1.6 V @ 20 A/125°C; Qg = 72 nC; Rthj-case = 0.55 °C/W | Lower VCE(sat) and gate charge; tighter thermal resistance enables higher power density | Recommended for new designs prioritizing efficiency and thermal headroom; requires updated gate resistor tuning. |
Compared with IXGH35N60B3 and IKP35N60T, the STGW35NB60S offers balanced trade-offs: lower gate charge than IXYS but higher than Infineon, and mid-range thermal resistance - making it suitable for cost-sensitive industrial drives where proven field reliability outweighs marginal efficiency gains.

FAQ
Is STGW35NB60S still in active production?
No - STGW35NB60S is marked as Obsolete Product(s) in ST's official documentation (Rev 1, March 2007). It remains available through authorized distributors and Aetrix Electronics' legacy inventory, with full traceability and extended lifecycle support for existing designs.
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V, with gate-emitter leakage current specified as ±100 nA at ±20 V and VCE = 0. Exceeding this rating risks permanent gate oxide damage; recommended gate drive is +15 V / –5 V to ensure safe turn-on and fast, low-loss turn-off.
Can STGW35NB60S be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient (verified in Figure 4 of datasheet) enables current sharing across paralleled devices. Designers must match gate drive loop inductance and use individual gate resistors (e.g., 10–22 Ω) to suppress dynamic imbalance during switching transitions.
Does STGW35NB60S require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No - it operates reliably with 0 V gate turn-off under typical inductive load conditions. However, applying –5 V improves noise immunity and reduces risk of spurious turn-on in high-dv/dt environments (e.g., >500 V/µs); the device's VGE(th) min of 2.5 V provides inherent margin against false triggering.
