Product details
Overview
STGWA25IH135DF2 from STMicroelectronics is a 1350 V, 25 A trench gate field-stop IGBT with co-packaged soft-recovery freewheeling diode in TO-247 long leads package, optimized for zero-voltage/zero-current switching in resonant topologies. It delivers VCE(sat) = 1.7 V (typ.) at IC = 20 A, TJ = 25 °C, 175 °C max junction temperature, and minimized tail current for induction heating inverters.
For engineers reviewing the STGWA25IH135DF2 datasheet, STGWA25IH135DF2 pinout, STGWA25IH135DF2 application, or STGWA25IH135DF2 equivalent, key selection criteria include soft-switching Eoff performance at 175 °C, co-packaged diode VF of 1.15 V at IF = 20 A, tight parameter distribution, and RthJC = 0.36 °C/W for thermal management in high-frequency resonant converters.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's IH2 series trench gate field-stop structure, balancing conduction loss (low VCE(sat)) and switching loss (low Eoff, minimized tail current) specifically for soft-commutation waveforms. Its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enables inherent current sharing in parallel configurations.
The integrated diode features very low forward drop (VF = 1.15 V typ. at IF = 20 A, TJ = 25 °C) and soft recovery characteristics, reducing voltage overshoot and EMI in snubbed inductive loads. Thermal resistance values-RthJC(IGBT) = 0.36 °C/W and RthJC(diode) = 0.97 °C/W-are validated per JEDEC JESD51-14 standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 1350 V - Withstands 1350 V collector-emitter blocking voltage under gate-open conditions, enabling use in 1000–1200 V DC bus resonant systems. |
| IC (cont., TC = 100 °C) | 25 A - Sustains 25 A continuous collector current at case temperature 100 °C, supporting high-power induction heating operation without derating. |
| VCE(sat) (TJ = 175 °C) | 2.1 V - Confirmed saturation voltage at maximum operating junction temperature, critical for conduction loss calculation in thermal-limited designs. |
| Eoff (TJ = 175 °C) | 1.9 mJ - Measured turn-off energy under worst-case thermal condition (VCC = 600 V, IC = 20 A, RG = 10 Ω), directly impacts heatsink sizing in soft-switched converters. |
| RthJC (IGBT) | 0.36 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables precise thermal modeling for PCB copper area and heatsink interface design. |
| VF (diode, TJ = 175 °C) | 1.10 V - Forward voltage remains stable across full temperature range, ensuring predictable freewheeling loss and minimal reverse recovery charge. |
| Qgc | 60 nC - Gate-collector charge value determines Miller effect sensitivity and gate drive strength requirements for reliable hard-soft transition control. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247 long leads package with isolated tab (collector-connected), standard three-terminal configuration. Mounting hole accommodates M3 screw; leads are tinned and suitable for wave or selective soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Pin 1) | Gate | Control terminal requiring ±20 V absolute max rating; 166 nC total gate charge mandates robust 15 V gate driver with ≥2 A peak sourcing/sinking capability. |
| C (Pin 2, Tab) | Collector | Main high-side power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab-must be insulated from heatsink unless system-level common-collector topology is used. |
| E (Pin 3) | Emitter | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout essential to avoid false triggering during fast dI/dt transitions (>1 kA/μs). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Soft-commutation optimization | Tail current reduced by >40% vs prior IH1 generation, lowering Eoff and enabling higher frequency operation in LLC and ZVS-PWM converters. |
| Tight parameter distribution | VCE(sat) and VGE(th) spread ≤ ±5%, allowing reliable paralleling of up to four devices without active current balancing. |
| Co-packaged diode | Low-VF (1.15 V) soft-recovery diode eliminates need for external anti-parallel diode, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in half-bridge modules. |
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | Enables natural current sharing in parallel configurations without external emitter resistors, simplifying high-current inverter scaling. |
| 175 °C max junction rating | Supports sustained operation in enclosed induction heating cabinets where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C, extending reliability beyond industrial grade limits. |
Applications
| Induction Heating Inverters | Resonant Microwave Oven Power Stages |
|---|---|

| Industrial Ultrasonic Cleaners | RF Plasma Generators |
|
Use Scenario: 40–120 kHz ultrasonic transducer driver with automatic frequency tracking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary power switch in Class D resonant amplifier; subjected to high dV/dt (>5 kV/μs) during zero-crossing transitions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar soft-switching IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN50N135A | Higher IC rating (50 A), but VCE(sat) = 2.4 V at 25 A and no co-packaged diode; requires external ultra-fast diode. | Better suited for hard-switched PFC stages; less optimal for resonant topologies due to higher conduction loss and lack of matched diode. | Select when higher peak current headroom is needed and external diode integration is acceptable. |
| Infineon IKW25N135H3 | Same 1350 V/25 A rating, but VCE(sat) = 1.85 V (typ.) and Eoff = 2.2 mJ at 175 °C; includes soft-recovery diode but with VF = 1.35 V. | Slightly higher conduction loss and lower diode efficiency reduce overall system efficiency by ~0.8% in 5 kW induction heaters. | Prefer when Infineon's H3 platform ecosystem (drivers, reference designs) is already deployed in production. |
Compared with IXGN50N135A and IKW25N135H3, STGWA25IH135DF2 offers the lowest combined conduction–switching loss product in soft-switched operation, verified by Eoff = 1.9 mJ and VF = 1.10 V at 175 °C-critical for thermally constrained microwave oven and portable induction systems.

FAQ
What gate drive voltage is recommended for STGWA25IH135DF2?
ST specifies VGE = 15 V for nominal operation, with absolute maximum of ±20 V. A 15 V gate drive ensures full enhancement while maintaining safe margin against Miller-induced turn-on. Gate resistor must be selected to limit peak current to ≤2 A during switching transitions, based on Qg = 166 nC and desired dV/dt control.
Can STGWA25IH135DF2 be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes-its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution (±5% VCE(sat), ±0.2 V VGE(th)) enable stable current sharing. Layout must ensure matched gate loop inductance and symmetrical emitter connections; no external emitter resistors are required for up to four devices in parallel.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies continuous collector current IC = 25 A at TC = 100 °C. Exceeding this case temperature requires linear derating per Figure 2; at TC = 110 °C, maximum IC drops to 20 A. Thermal design must maintain TC ≤ 100 °C under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions.
Does the co-packaged diode support reverse recovery in hard-switched configurations?
No-the diode is optimized for soft recovery in resonant circuits, not hard commutation. Its reverse recovery time (trr) is not characterized for hard-switched operation, and using it in non-resonant topologies risks excessive voltage overshoot and failure. It must only be used in ZVS or ZCS conditions as specified in the application notes.
