IRG5K400HF06B

Overview

The IRG5K400HF06B is a POWIR 62™ IGBT half-bridge module featuring a 600V collector-emitter voltage rating and a continuous collector current of 400A at TC = 80°C. It exhibits a maximum VCE(ON) of 1.80V at IC = 400A and supports a short-circuit withstand time of tSC ≥ 10µsec. The integrated freewheeling diode provides a continuous forward current of 400A at TC = 80°C with a typical forward voltage of 1.40V at IF = 400A. Thermal performance includes a junction-to-case resistance (RθJC) of 0.077 °C/W for the IGBT and 0.348 °C/W for the diode, ensuring efficient heat dissipation in high-power industrial applications.
