IHY30N160R2XKSA1

Overview

The Infineon Technologies IHY30N160R2 is a TrenchStop® Reverse Conducting (RC-)IGBT featuring a monolithic body diode. It utilizes NPT technology for positive temperature coefficient behavior in VCE(sat), facilitating easy parallel switching. The device operates with a collector-emitter voltage of 1600V and a continuous DC collector current of 30A at 100°C case temperature. It is housed in the PG-TO247HC-3 package, which provides increased air and creepage distances compared to standard TO-247 packages.

Feature Summary

• Trench and fieldstop technology ensures tight parameter distribution and high ruggedness.
• Monolithic body diode clamps negative voltages with very low forward voltage.
• NPT technology enables easy parallel switching due to positive temperature coefficient in saturation voltage.

Applications

• Inductive cooking
• Soft switching applications
