Discrete IGBT — no integrated freewheeling diode
The IRGS8B60KPBF is a discrete IGBT from Infineon, described as a "DISCRETE IGBT WITHOUT" an integrated anti-parallel diode. This means the designer must add an external fast-recovery diode across the collector-emitter for inductive load switching, which is typical in motor drive and power supply topologies where the diode's reverse recovery characteristics need to be matched to the switching frequency.
Bulk packaging — handling note
For a pick-and-place line, bulk requires manual tube feeding or tray loading; it is not compatible with standard 8 mm or 12 mm tape feeders.
