Product details
Overview
STGWA40H65DFB2 from STMicroelectronics is a 650 V, 40 A high-speed trench gate field-stop IGBT with co-packaged soft-recovery diode in TO-247 long leads package. It delivers low VCE(sat) = 1.55 V (typ. @ IC = 40 A), fast switching (td(off) = 72 ns, Eoff = 410 µJ), and minimized tail current for high-efficiency PFC and solar inverter stages.
For engineers reviewing the STGWA40H65DFB2 datasheet, STGWA40H65DFB2 pinout, STGWA40H65DFB2 application, or STGWA40H65DFB2 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) temperature coefficient, diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 730 nC), thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.65 °C/W), and TJ max = 175 °C operation in high-power DC fast charging systems.
Technical Context
This HB2-series IGBT uses ST's proprietary trench gate field-stop structure optimized for conduction loss reduction at low-to-moderate currents and lower switching energy versus prior generations. Its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enables stable parallel operation.
The integrated antiparallel diode features very fast and soft recovery (trr = 75 ns, Qrr = 730 nC @ TJ = 25 °C), tight parameter distribution, and minimized tail current-critical for reducing voltage overshoot and EMI in hard-switched topologies like single-phase PFC and string inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 650 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 650 V bus applications including solar string inverters and EV DC fast chargers. |
| IC (TC = 100 °C) | 45 A - Continuous collector current rating at elevated case temperature, enabling compact heatsink design in UPS and welding systems. |
| VCE(sat) (IC = 40 A, TJ = 175 °C) | 1.85 V - Confirmed saturation voltage under worst-case thermal stress, directly determining conduction loss in high-duty-cycle PFC stages. |
| Eoff (TJ = 175 °C) | 780 µJ - Turn-off energy at maximum junction temperature, defining switching loss budget in 16–32 kHz solar inverter H-bridges. |
| RthJC (IGBT) | 0.65 °C/W - Low junction-to-case thermal resistance enabling >230 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C, critical for forced-air-cooled industrial designs. |
| Qrr (TJ = 175 °C) | 3110 nC - Reverse recovery charge at max operating temperature, impacting snubber sizing and diode-induced voltage spikes in bidirectional converters. |
| trr (TJ = 175 °C) | 125 ns - Diode reverse recovery time at 175 °C, used to calculate dead-time margin in synchronous rectification and active clamp circuits. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247 long leads package with isolated mounting tab; three-terminal configuration: Gate (G), Collector (C), Emitter (E). Tab is electrically connected to Collector.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Pin 1) | Gate control input | Accepts ±20 V gate drive; requires 153 nC total gate charge for full turn-on; sensitive to dV/dt-induced false triggering. |
| C (Tab / Pin 2) | High-side power output node | Collector terminal bonded to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system topology permits common-collector reference. |
| E (Pin 3) | Emitter return path | Low-inductance emitter connection critical for minimizing shoot-through risk; serves as reference for gate drive and current sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very fast soft recovery co-packaged diode | Enables zero-voltage switching (ZVS) assist in resonant PFC and reduces EMI in 20–50 kHz solar inverters without external snubbers. |
| Positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient | Ensures inherent current sharing stability when paralleling multiple devices in high-current UPS or EV charger modules. |
| Tight parameter distribution | Reduces binning requirements and simplifies gate driver design across production batches for industrial OEMs. |
| Minimized tail current | Lowers turn-off losses and dv/dt stress on DC-link capacitors in hard-switched bridge legs of central inverters. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports derated operation in confined enclosures (e.g., wall-mounted EV chargers) without active cooling redundancy. |
Applications
| Single-Phase PFC Converters | Solar String Inverters |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Boost-stage switching in 3–5 kW residential PFC front-ends with universal AC input (90–264 VAC).

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge leg switch handling 40 A RMS output current; switched at 16–20 kHz with sinusoidal PWM. Use Value: 125 ns trr at 175 °C allows safe 400 ns dead-time setting, preventing shoot-through while maintaining THD < 2.5%. |
| Uninterruptible Power Supplies | DC Fast Charging Stations |
|
Use Scenario: Inverter stage in 5–15 kVA online UPS systems requiring zero-transfer-time backup and harmonic mitigation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-bridge inverter switch operating in double-pulse mode with 10–15 kHz carrier frequency and active filtering. Use Value: RthJC = 0.65 °C/W enables 230 W dissipation at TC = 80 °C, supporting fanless operation in medical-grade UPS enclosures. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side DC/DC isolation stage in 150–350 kW liquid-cooled EV chargers converting 800 V DC to 400 V battery level. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier switch in phase-shifted full-bridge topology; handles 40 A peak current at 100 kHz. Use Value: Tight parameter distribution ensures consistent timing across 12+ paralleled modules, eliminating need for per-device gate resistor tuning. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN40N60B3 | 600 V rating, higher VCE(sat) = 1.9 V @ 40 A, slower diode (trr = 180 ns), no soft recovery. | Lower voltage headroom limits use in 800 V DC fast charging; higher Eoff increases thermal load in 32 kHz PFC. | Select only if 600 V rating suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets. |
| Infineon IKW40N65ES5 | Same 650 V/40 A rating but uses Enhanced Speed technology; VCE(sat) = 1.6 V @ 40 A, Qrr = 1100 nC @ 25 °C (higher than ST's 730 nC). | Higher Qrr demands larger snubbers in high-di/dt PFC; less suitable for ultra-low-EMI solar inverters. | Preferable where gate charge (130 nC) and lower VGE(th) simplify drive circuitry over diode softness. |
Compared with IXGN40N60B3 and IKW40N65ES5, STGWA40H65DFB2 offers the lowest Qrr and softest diode recovery among 650 V 40 A IGBTs, making it optimal for EMI-sensitive, high-frequency PFC and string inverter designs where diode-induced voltage spikes must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable turn-off at 175 °C?
The datasheet specifies Eoff = 780 µJ at TJ = 175 °C with RG = 4.7 Ω. Increasing RG beyond 10 Ω raises switching time and energy disproportionately due to reduced di/dt control; ST recommends 3.3–6.8 Ω for balanced speed and voltage overshoot in 16–32 kHz applications.
Can STGWA40H65DFB2 replace STGW40H65FB in existing designs?
Yes-STGWA40H65DFB2 is a direct drop-in replacement for STGW40H65FB with identical TO-247 long leads pinout and improved VCE(sat), switching energy, and diode softness. No layout or gate drive changes are required, though efficiency gains may allow thermal derating.
Is the TO-247 tab electrically isolated from the package body?
No-the metal tab is internally connected to the Collector (C) terminal. Electrical isolation from the heatsink is mandatory unless the system topology explicitly references the heatsink to the high-side DC bus; creepage/clearance must comply with IEC 60664-1 for 650 V working voltage.
What is the typical reverse recovery charge of the integrated diode at 100 °C?
Qrr = 1850 nC at TJ = 100 °C (interpolated from datasheet curves Figure 23), measured at IF = 40 A, VR = 400 V, and di/dt = 1000 A/µs. This value informs snubber capacitor sizing and impacts turn-on loss of the complementary switch in bridge configurations.
