Switching performance and gate-drive considerations
The Vce(on) of 2.4 V at 15 V, 15 A is typical for a 600 V NPT device in this current class — conduction losses are moderate, and the positive temperature coefficient simplifies thermal design when paralleling.
Package and mounting
Supplied in a TO-263-3 (D²Pak) surface-mount package with the Infineon PG-TO263-3-2 variant. The large tab provides the collector connection and primary heat path — PCB copper area and thermal vias are needed to keep junction temperature within the 150°C limit at 139 W max power dissipation. The surface-mount format suits automated assembly and saves board space compared to through-hole TO-247 or TO-220 packages.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The SGB15N60 carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. No end-of-life notification is on record, so this part is suitable for both new designs and production replenishment.
