Infineon - 1600 V IGBT with anti-parallel diode in TO-247

Infineon – 1600 V IGBT with anti-parallel diode in TO-247

IHW30N160R5

The 5th generation of reverse conducting 1600 V, 30 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBTs with monolithically integrated reverse conducting diode in a TO-247 package has been optimized for the demanding requirements of Induction Cooking applications. The 30 A RC-H5 devices complement the previous generation of reverse conduction IGBTs and extend the performance leadership of the RC-H family, focusing on system efficiency and reliability.

Features

Switching losses reduced by 20%
Very low conduction losses
Reduced turn-on current spike up to 10%
Tj(max) = 175°C
Soft current turn-off waveforms for low EMI
Higher blocking voltage VBR(min) = 1600

Competitive advantages

Easy transition from former generation R2
Reliability: R5 has better thermal performances
Feature to cost: R5 offers best induction heating feature set to match market pressure cost, with highest quality standard
Total power losses: lowest power loss at all cooktop’s condition (very low conduction losses and lowest conduction losses (-20% than R3, thanks to best in class Vce, sat))
