Gate charge and capacitance — drive budget
The IPW60R070CFD7XKSA1: Total gate charge is 67 nC at 10 V, and input capacitance Ciss is 2721 pF at 400 V drain.
Through-hole TO-247 — rework and thermal handling
Housed in a TO-247-3 through-hole package (PG-TO247-3-21), this part is a bench-friendly choice. The large tab provides a low thermal resistance path to a heatsink — the power dissipation ceiling is 156 W at case temperature. For a rework tech, the three through-hole leads are easy to desolder with a hot-air station or solder sucker; the tab can be screwed down for mechanical retention and thermal transfer.
Temperature range and application envelope
This qualifies the device for avionics power supplies, satellite DC-DC converters, and downhole instrumentation where the ambient can swing from cold soak to full-load heat. The 650 V Vdss leaves margin above a 400 V DC bus, a typical voltage in three-phase industrial drives and server PFC stages.
