IRG4PC30F
INSULATED GATE BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR Fast Speed IGBT

Features C

• Fast: Optimized for medium operating

frequencies ( 1-5 kHz in hard switching, >20 VCES = 600V
kHz in resonant mode).
• Generation 4 IGBT design provides tighter
G VCE(on) typ. = 1.59V
parameter distribution and higher efficiency than
Generation 3
E @VGE = 15V, IC = 17A
• Industry standard TO-247AC package
n-channel

Benefits
• Generation 4 IGBT's offer highest efficiency available
• IGBT's optimized for specified application conditions
• Designed to be a "drop-in" replacement for equivalent
industry-standard Generation 3 IR IGBT's
