IXGH40N60B

Overview

The IXYS IXGH40N60B is a HiPerFAST IGBT rated for 600V collector-emitter voltage and 75A continuous collector current at 25°C. It features a low saturation voltage of 2.1V under standard test conditions (480V, 40A). The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and supports a pulsed collector current of 150A. Packaged in TO-247AD, it dissipates up to 250W of power. Key switching parameters include a turn-on delay of 25ns and a turn-off delay of 100ns, with a gate charge of 116nC.

Feature Summary

• HiPerFAST technology optimized for medium-speed switching applications
• Low saturation voltage design for reduced conduction losses
• Robust thermal performance supporting high power dissipation

Applications

• Medium-frequency power conversion circuits
• Industrial motor drives
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• High-efficiency inverters

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific suffix designation matches project requirements, as variations may exist within the product line. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle status updates prior to finalizing procurement plans to ensure long-term supply stability.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a balance between low conduction loss and manageable switching speeds around 5-40 kHz. Ensure the gate drive circuit can handle the specified 116nC gate charge efficiently. Verify that the thermal management system can sustain the 250W power dissipation rating under worst-case operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS HiPerFAST family, designed for efficient power switching. It utilizes Planar Technology (PT) to achieve low on-state voltage while maintaining reliable switching characteristics. The TO-247AD package provides a robust mechanical structure suitable for through-hole mounting in high-power industrial applications.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include IXYH50N120C3, FGH40N60SMD-F085, and STGW40H65FB. Evaluate these alternatives based on pin compatibility, electrical parameter margins, and thermal resistance specifications before implementation.
