Procurement Notes

Verify the obsolete status of this component before procurement planning. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets as standard supply chains may no longer support new orders. Ensure that any sourced units match the original ISOPLUS247™ package dimensions and pinout specifications to maintain compatibility with existing PCB layouts and thermal interfaces.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 600V blocking capability with moderate current handling up to 56A. Consider the 2.7V Vce(sat) for conduction loss calculations and the 200µJ switching energy for thermal management in high-frequency designs. Verify that the driving circuit can provide the required 15V gate drive and manage the 95nC gate charge effectively to achieve the specified switching speeds.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS HiPerFAST™ family, designed for efficient power switching. The base part number IXG*40N60 indicates a common platform for 600V, 40A-class devices. The specific suffix C2 denotes particular electrical characteristics and packaging variations within this lineage, distinguishing it from other variants like the IXGH series which may feature different packages or performance metrics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. Evaluate alternatives based on matching 600V rating, similar current capacity, and compatible ISOPLUS247™ or TO-247AD packages. Verify that replacement devices meet the same switching energy and gate charge requirements to ensure equivalent thermal and electrical performance in the target application.
