IXGK50N60B2D1

Overview

The IXGK50N60B2D1 is a single Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) manufactured by IXYS. It features a 600V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and a continuous collector current of 75A at 25°C, with a pulse current rating of 200A. The device utilizes the Hiperfast™ series technology and is housed in a TO-264 (IXGK) through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum saturated collector-emitter voltage of 2.3V at 50A and 15V gate drive, a gate charge of 160nC, and a maximum power dissipation of 300W. Switching characteristics at 25°C show turn-on and turn-off times of 50ns and 150ns respectively, tested under conditions of 480V, 50A, and a 2.7Ω gate resistor.

Feature Summary

• Hiperfast™ series technology for optimized switching performance
• Square Reverse Bias Safe Operating Area (RBSOA)
• Through-hole mounting for robust mechanical connection

Applications

• High-frequency motor drives
• Switched-mode power supplies
• Induction heating systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official IXYS documentation to confirm pinout and thermal characteristics, as variations exist within the family. Confirm component availability status, as specific variants may be discontinued or subject to long lead times. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package type and electrical ratings for the target application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 600V blocking capability and moderate current handling up to 75A. Consider the 160nC gate charge when designing the gate driver circuit to ensure adequate drive strength. Verify that the thermal management solution can handle the 300W power dissipation limit within the specified junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Part Context

This IGBT belongs to the IXYS Hiperfast™ family, designed for medium-frequency switching applications. The TO-264 package provides a balance between current capacity and board space efficiency compared to larger TO-247 packages. It serves as a discrete switching element in power conversion circuits where reliability and controlled switching speeds are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other IXYS 600V 75A IGBTs in similar packages, such as the IXGK50N60B. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 600V/75A TO-264 IGBTs only if electrical parameters like Vce(sat), Qg, and switching times are verified to be equivalent or superior.
