STGD3NB60SD-1

Overview

The STGD3NB60SD is a PowerMESH™ N-channel IGBT with an integrated antiparallel diode, rated for 600 V collector-emitter voltage and 3 A continuous collector current at 100°C. It utilizes a patented strip layout to achieve low on-voltage drop (<1.5 V) optimized for low-frequency applications below 1 kHz. The device operates up to a maximum junction temperature of 175°C and features high input impedance. Key electrical parameters include a gate threshold voltage of 2.5–4.5 V, total gate charge of 18–23 nC, and turn-off switching loss of 1.15 mJ at 125°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when sourcing components. The base part number STGD3NB60SD typically ships in tubes, while the suffix T4 indicates tape and reel packaging. Confirm package type and quantity requirements directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer to ensure compatibility with automated assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low conduction losses at frequencies under 1 kHz. Ensure the thermal management solution supports the 175°C maximum junction temperature rating. Verify that the 600 V breakdown voltage and 3 A continuous current limits accommodate the peak load requirements of the target application circuit.

Part Context

This device belongs to the STMicroelectronics PowerMESH™ IGBT family, which employs advanced high-voltage technology based on a patented strip layout.
