Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against manufacturer specifications due to end-of-life status. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and check for specific manufacturing date codes if required for legacy system maintenance. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed during installation to prevent electrostatic discharge damage to the gate terminal.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1200V rated single IGBT with moderate current capacity is required in a standard through-hole package. Consider thermal management solutions capable of dissipating 85W under worst-case operating conditions. Evaluate gate resistor values to manage the 350ns reverse recovery time and minimize switching losses in hard-switching topologies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS IXA series of discrete IGBTs, specifically utilizing XPT or PT technology variants known for high blocking voltages. It serves as a fundamental switching element in medium-power electronic conversion stages. The TO-220-3 package provides a cost-effective solution for prototyping and lower-volume production runs compared to module-based alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

The product datasheet indicates an End of Life notification dated March 7, 2025. No official direct substitute part numbers are listed in the provided documentation. Engineers should evaluate alternative 1200V/20A TO-220-3 IGBTs from other manufacturers, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal design constraints.
