IRG8P40N120KDPBF

Overview

The IRG8P40N120KDPBF is a 1200 V, 40 A N-channel IGBT from Infineon's K-Series. It utilizes TRENCHSTOP™ technology for optimized switching performance and low conduction losses. The device features an integrated anti-parallel diode and is housed in a TO-247AD package designed for high-power applications requiring robust thermal management and electrical isolation.

Feature Summary

• TRENCHSTOP™ technology for reduced switching losses
• Integrated fast recovery anti-parallel diode
• High short-circuit withstand capability
• Low saturation voltage for efficient conduction

Applications

• Industrial motor drives
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• High-frequency welding inverters
• Switched-mode power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Infineon Technologies, following International Rectifier's acquisition. Confirm the suffix 'PBF' indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS adherence. Ensure the TO-247AD package type matches the required mounting configuration for thermal dissipation needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high voltage blocking with moderate current handling. Consider the trade-off between switching speed and conduction loss inherent to TRENCHSTOP™ devices. Verify gate drive requirements align with the specified threshold voltage and total gate charge parameters for optimal efficiency.

Part Context

This part belongs to the K-Series IGBT family, known for balancing performance and cost. It serves as a discrete power switch alternative to modules in medium-power converters. The TO-247AD package facilitates through-hole mounting on heatsinks for industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for equivalent parts within the Infineon IGBT portfolio. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting with other manufacturers' 1200V/40A devices.
