IRGP6650D-EPBF

Overview

The IRGP6650D-EPBF is a 600V trench-gate ultra-fast IGBT from International Rectifier, designed for high-efficiency power conversion. It features a 50A collector current rating at 100°C and a low Vce(on) of 1.6V. The device utilizes thin-wafer technology to minimize conduction and switching losses. Packaged in TO-247AC or TO-247AD, it supports switching frequencies between 8kHz and 30kHz with a 5µs short-circuit withstand capability. Thermal resistance (Rth j-c) is 0.56°C/W, and the maximum junction temperature reaches 175°C.

Feature Summary

• Trench-gate technology reduces both conduction and switching losses for improved system efficiency.
• Positive Vce(on) temperature coefficient facilitates safe parallel operation without current derating.
• Robust 5µs short-circuit rating ensures protection during fault conditions.
• Co-packaged with a soft-recovery diode featuring low reverse recovery charge (Qrr).

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm package type (TO-247AC vs. TO-247AD) and lead-free compliance. Ensure the ordering code matches the required thermal resistance and current rating variants within the IRGP46xx series family. Cross-reference manufacturer documentation for any recent product change notices affecting pinout or material composition.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high switching speeds up to 30kHz and robust fault tolerance. The positive temperature coefficient aids in paralleling multiple devices for higher current capacity. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 0.56°C/W junction-to-case resistance to maintain junction temperatures below 175°C under continuous load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to International Rectifier's expanded 600V trench-gate IGBT portfolio, optimized for super-fast switching. It complements other models like the IRGP4640D and IRGP4660D, offering a balanced solution for mid-range current applications in industrial and renewable energy sectors while maintaining compatibility with standard gate drive circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include IRGP4650DPBF and IRGP4650D-EPBF. Verify equivalent electrical parameters such as Vce(on), Ic rating, and package dimensions before implementation.
