IXGR120N60C2

Overview

The IXGR120N60C2 is a high-voltage N-channel Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) manufactured by IXYS. It belongs to the Lightspeed 2 series, featuring an electrically isolated back surface for direct heatsink mounting. The device supports a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 600 V and a continuous collector current of 120 A at 25°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum gate-emitter voltage of ±20 V, a typical saturation voltage of 2.3 V at 120 A, and a gate charge of 480 nC. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and utilizes a TO-247AD package.

Feature Summary

• Electrically isolated back surface enables direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without additional insulators.
• High current handling capability suitable for demanding power conversion applications.
• Fast switching speeds optimized for high-frequency operation in switched-mode power supplies.

Applications

• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• Switched-mode and resonant-mode power supplies
• AC motor speed control systems
• DC servo and robot drives

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized IXYS distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm lot codes and date codes against current manufacturing records. Ensure proper electrostatic discharge handling during storage and installation. Check for any product change notices affecting pinout or thermal characteristics before integration into existing designs.

Selection Notes

Select this IGBT for applications requiring high voltage isolation and efficient thermal management. The isolated tab design simplifies assembly by eliminating separate insulation layers. Evaluate thermal resistance values against system heat dissipation requirements. Consider gate drive compatibility with the specified 20 V limit and 480 nC charge requirement for optimal switching performance.

Part Context

This component is part of the IXYS Lightspeed 2 series, designed for high-performance power electronics. It utilizes advanced HDMOSTM process technology to achieve fast switching and low conduction losses. The series targets industrial and commercial power conversion markets where reliability and compact form factors are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 600V rating, 120A current capacity, and TO-247AD isolated package. Verify that substitute devices offer comparable saturation voltage and switching times. Ensure thermal interface material compatibility with the isolated back surface design.
