Product details

1200 V / 40 A TrenchStop IGBT for industrial drives and power conversion

The Infineon IHW20N120R5XKSA1 is a 1200 V, 40 A TrenchStop IGBT in a TO-247-3 through-hole package. The 175 °C maximum junction temperature provides thermal headroom for compact heatsink designs in industrial enclosures.

Switching and conduction performance at the test condition

At the standard test condition of 600 V bus, 20 A collector current, 10 Ω gate resistor, and 15 V gate drive, the part delivers a 1.75 V typical saturation voltage and 750 µJ turn-off energy. The 170 nC total gate charge gives the drive circuit designer a clear number for sizing the gate driver output stage and estimating drive power.

Mounting and thermal interface

The TO-247-3 package (PG-TO247-3) is a standard through-hole footprint with a large metal tab for direct heatsink mounting. The 288 W maximum power dissipation assumes proper thermal interface material and adequate airflow or forced convection.

This is a current-production part, not subject to last-time-buy or phase-out notices at this time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the recommended gate resistor for IHW20N120R5XKSA1?

The datasheet test condition uses a 10 Ω gate resistor at 15 V gate drive. That value is a starting point for hard-switched designs; final selection depends on the trade-off between switching speed and EMI, and should be validated in the target circuit.

What is the maximum junction temperature for IHW20N120R5XKSA1?

175 °C (Tj). This is the rated maximum junction temperature for the device.

How does IHW20N120R5XKSA1 compare to IHW30N120R5XKSA1?

The IHW30N120R5XKSA1 is the 30 A rated sibling in the same TrenchStop series, same 1200 V voltage class and TO-247-3 package. It carries a 1.85 V Vce(on) at 15 V / 30 A, 1.1 mJ turn-off energy, and 235 nC gate charge. The 20 A part is the correct choice when the load current budget stays under 40 A continuous and the lower switching loss matters for efficiency.
