600 V / 60 A trench IGBT for motor drives and inverters
The Renesas RJH60T04DPQ-A1#T0 is a trench-gate IGBT rated for 600 V collector-emitter breakdown and 60 A continuous collector current, housed in a TO-247A through-hole package.
What the 87 nC gate charge means for your gate driver
An 87 nC total gate charge at 15 V means the driver must supply an average current of I = Qg × fsw. At 30 kHz switching, that is 2.6 mA average — well within a standard totem-pole driver. But the peak current during the Miller plateau matters more: a driver with 2 A peak capability charges the gate in under 50 ns, keeping switching losses low. The TO-247A package's Kelvin-emitter option (not present on this standard three-lead variant) would reduce the common-source inductance; with the standard package, keep the driver-to-gate loop under 20 mm.
TO-247A: mounting and thermal design
The TO-247A package uses a large copper tab with a 3.2 mm mounting hole for screw attachment to a heatsink. The maximum power dissipation is 208.3 W, but that figure assumes the case is held at 25 °C — in practice, derate based on the junction-to-case thermal resistance (not listed here, but typical for TO-247 IGBTs is 0.3–0.5 °C/W). Use a thermal pad or mica insulator with thermal grease; the tab is electrically live (collector potential). The through-hole leads require a 1.2 mm drill diameter on the PCB.
