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.
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.
