IXYH40N120C4H1

Overview

The IXYH40N120C4H1 is a single trench-gate Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) manufactured by IXYS, now part of Littelfuse. It features a 1200V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and supports a continuous collector current of 40A, with a pulsed current rating of 110A. The device is housed in a TO-247 through-hole package, providing a power dissipation capacity of 680W. Designed for high-efficiency switching applications, it utilizes XPT technology to optimize the trade-off between conduction losses and switching performance.

Feature Summary

• Trench gate technology for optimized switching characteristics
• XPT (eXtended Plate Technology) for low saturation voltage
• Square Reverse Bias Safe Operating Area (RBSOA)
• Through-hole mounting for robust thermal management

Applications

• High-frequency inverters
• Motor drives
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• Induction heating systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'H1' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the procurement channel provides original Littelfuse/IXYS packaging to prevent counterfeit components. Cross-reference the ordering code with official distributor catalogs to confirm availability status and lead times prior to finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring 1200V blocking capability with moderate current handling in a standard TO-247 footprint. Consider the 680W power dissipation limit when designing heatsinking solutions. Evaluate the switching speed requirements against the device's dynamic characteristics to ensure compatibility with the target application's frequency range and efficiency targets.

Part Context

This IGBT belongs to the IXYS IXYH series, which represents advanced trench-gate devices utilizing XPT technology. The series is engineered for high-efficiency power conversion, balancing low on-state voltage drop with fast switching speeds. The TO-247 package offers a standardized mechanical interface widely used in industrial power electronics for reliable thermal coupling and mechanical stability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other IXYS/Littelfuse IGBTs with matching 1200V ratings and TO-247 packages, such as the IXYH50N120C4H1 for higher current capacity. Verify that any substitute maintains identical pinout configuration and thermal resistance characteristics to ensure seamless integration without redesigning the PCB or heatsink assembly.
