KGF65A6L

Overview

The KGF65A6L is a 650 V Field Stop IGBT manufactured by Sanken Electric, housed in a TO247-3L package. It features an integrated fast recovery diode and utilizes a trench structure to reduce gate capacitance, saturation voltage, and switching losses. Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter voltage (VCE) of 650 V, a continuous collector current (IC) of 60 A at TC = 100 °C, and a short circuit withstand time of 5 μs. The typical saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) is 1.6 V, with a turn-off fall time (tf) of 150 ns at TJ = 175 °C. The device supports a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Sanken original trench structure decreases gate capacitance for reduced switching losses
• Integrated fast recovery diode included within the component
• RoHS compliant construction

Applications

• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
• Inverter Circuit
• Bridge Circuit

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type required, as the MGF65A6L variant uses a TO3P-3L housing instead of the standard TO247-3L. Confirm RoHS compliance status during acquisition. Review the manufacturer's Important Notes regarding suitability for high-reliability applications such as medical or aerospace systems before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for circuits requiring 650 V blocking capability and up to 60 A continuous current. Ensure thermal management accommodates the specified power dissipation limits. Note that the datasheet explicitly marks this part as Not Recommended for New Designs; evaluate alternative modern equivalents if starting a fresh design project.

Part Context

This component belongs to the xGF65A6L series from Sanken Electric, which also includes the MGF65A6L model. Both variants share identical electrical characteristics but differ in physical packaging. The series is designed to improve circuit efficiency through optimized trade-offs between conduction and switching performance.
