68 nC gate charge — sizing the driver
The IPW60R060C7XKSA1: Total gate charge is 68 nC at 10 V. The input capacitance is 2850 pF at 400 V drain bias.
The 162 W maximum power dissipation at case temperature is derated above 25°C per the datasheet curve — in a 100°C ambient the usable dissipation drops to roughly 60% of that figure.
Infineon lists the IPW60R060C7XKSA1 as Active. The part is ROHS3 compliant. For production builds this means the supply channel is stable through Infineon's distribution network — no urgency to stockpile or qualify a drop-in replacement.
TO-247-3 — field-swappable with a soldering iron
The PG-TO247-3 through-hole package is a standard three-lead vertical mount. The leads are thick enough to handle with a standard soldering iron and the gate-source-drain orientation is obvious from the package outline — no hot-air station, no reflow profile. On a customer site you can swap this part with the board on a bench, no lab required.
