IRGIB4630DPBF

Overview

The IRGB4630DPBF is a single N-channel Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) from Infineon Technologies, formerly International Rectifier. It utilizes TRENCHSTOP technology for optimized performance in high-frequency switching applications. The device features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 600 V and a continuous collector current of 47 A at 25°C. Key electrical parameters include a saturation voltage of 1.65 V, a power dissipation rating of 206 W, and a gate-emitter voltage range of ±20 V. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +175°C and is housed in a TO-220AB-3 through-hole package.

Feature Summary

• Incorporates TRENCHSTOP trench gate and field stop technology to reduce conduction and switching losses.
• Features a positive temperature coefficient for the collector-emitter saturation voltage to facilitate safe parallel operation.
• Designed with a short-circuit rating of 5 microseconds to withstand transient fault conditions.

Applications

• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• Solar Inverters
• Induction Heating Systems
• Industrial Motor Drives
• Welding Equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as the component was originally produced by International Rectifier before its acquisition by Infineon Technologies. Confirm that the suffix 'PBF' indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS adherence. Check the specific datasheet revision to ensure compatibility with your design requirements, as legacy documentation may vary slightly from current Infineon specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust 600V IGBT with moderate current handling is required for frequencies between 8 kHz and 30 kHz. The TO-220AB package is suitable for designs prioritizing cost-effective through-hole assembly over surface-mount density. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for the 206 W dissipation rating under expected load conditions.

Part Context

This device belongs to the IRGP46xxD series of ultra-fast IGBTs, which also includes variants like the IRGP4640D and IRGP4650D. While those counterparts utilize the TO-247 package, the IRGB4630DPBF specifically employs the TO-220AB form factor. All share the same underlying TRENCHSTOP technology and are intended for similar high-efficiency power conversion applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the IRGP4640D or IRGP4650D if the TO-247 package can be accommodated. For identical TO-220AB packaging, verify availability of other IRGB46xxDPBF variants or consult Infineon's official cross-reference guides for updated equivalents.
