Overview
The IGTH20N50 is a high-voltage N-channel Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) manufactured by Harris Corporation. It features a 500V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and a continuous collector current rating of 20A. The device utilizes a TO-204AA flange mount package with the case connected to the collector for efficient thermal management. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum gate-emitter voltage of ±20V, a typical saturation voltage of approximately 2.5V at rated current, and a switching time in the range of hundreds of nanoseconds. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and supports a power dissipation capacity suitable for industrial power conversion applications.
Feature Summary
- High voltage blocking capability with 500V V(CES) rating
- Robust thermal performance via TO-204AA flange mount package
- Fast switching characteristics optimized for hard-switching applications
- Industrial-grade operating temperature range up to 150°C
Applications
- Induction heating power supplies
- Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
- Motor control drives and inverters
- Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)
Procurement Notes
Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to potential availability of refurbished units. Confirm lot codes and date codes against specific project requirements. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed as the TO-204AA package requires careful mounting to maintain thermal interface integrity. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by local regulations.
Selection Notes
Select this IGBT for applications requiring high voltage isolation and moderate current handling. Compare saturation voltage and switching losses against alternative devices like the IXTH20N50 or IRG4PC50F depending on efficiency needs. Ensure the gate driver can supply sufficient current to manage the input capacitance effectively. Verify that the heat sink design can handle the thermal resistance specified in the datasheet under worst-case operating conditions.
Part Context
Harris Semiconductor was a prominent manufacturer of analog and power semiconductors before being acquired by Intersil, which later merged with Renesas Electronics. The IGTH series represents legacy high-power IGBT technology designed for robust industrial environments. While no longer actively produced by the original entity, these components remain referenced in existing equipment maintenance and repair scenarios.
Replacement Considerations
Direct pin-compatible replacements may be limited due to the discontinuation of the Harris brand. Consider equivalents from manufacturers such as International Rectifier (Infineon), IXYS, or Mitsubishi Electric that offer similar 500V/20A specifications in TO-204AA packages. Validate electrical parameters including Vce(sat) and switching times to ensure circuit compatibility.
