Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision status of the component upon ordering, as this part number may be classified as obsolete or end-of-life depending on the manufacturer's current production schedule. Confirm that the SOT-227 package dimensions match your thermal management design requirements. Ensure that the datasheet version aligns with the specific batch you intend to procure to guarantee accurate electrical parameter compliance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-switch configuration with integrated freewheeling diode is required for 650 V systems. The Trench technology offers improved switching efficiency compared to planar designs. Consider the 167 A current rating against your peak load requirements. The SOT-227 package facilitates direct chassis mounting, which simplifies thermal interface implementation in high-power density enclosures.

Part Context

This IGBT module belongs to Vishay's GT series, which emphasizes trench technology for superior performance. The integration of FRED Pt® diodes distinguishes it from standard IGBTs by providing optimized reverse recovery behavior. The SOT-227 form factor positions it within Vishay's lineup of medium-to-high power discrete modules suitable for industrial and automotive traction applications.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the specific combination of Trench IGBT technology and FRED Pt® diode integration, direct pin-for-pin replacements may require careful verification of electrical parameters and thermal characteristics.
