On-state voltage and conduction loss
At 15 V gate-emitter and 40 A collector current, the typical Vce(on) is 2.1 V. That is the conduction loss reference for the 40 A continuous rating. The 74 A continuous collector current and 120 A pulsed current give headroom for overload and inrush conditions typical in motor-start and capacitor-charging applications.
Temperature range and package
Rated for a junction temperature range of -40°C to 175°C, the IKW40N65H5FKSA1 covers industrial and automotive under-hood environments. The PG-TO247-3 package is a standard through-hole footprint with a large copper tab for heatsink mounting. The 62 ns reverse recovery time of the internal diode reduces turn-on loss in half-bridge topologies.
Lifecycle and compliance
It is ROHS3 compliant. No official successor or second-source is listed; the part is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ.
