600 V, 6 A — the switching workhorse in a full-pack can
The STGF6NC60HD is a PowerMESH™ IGBT from STMicroelectronics rated at 600 V collector-emitter breakdown and 6 A continuous collector current, with a pulsed current capability of 21 A. It comes in a TO-220 Full Pack (TO-220FP) — the fully isolated plastic package that saves you a mica washer and thermal grease on the mounting surface. The 13.6 nC total gate charge keeps the drive circuit simple; you can run it from a standard gate-drive transformer or a dedicated IGBT driver without worrying about excessive peak current.
Tested at 390 V, 3 A, 10 Ω gate resistor, 15 V gate drive, the part delivers 20 µJ turn-on and 68 µJ turn-off switching energy. Turn-on delay is 12 ns, turn-off delay 76 ns at 25°C. That combination means the device is optimised for hard-switching topologies like PFC boost converters and motor-drive inverters in the 1–3 A range — the low turn-off energy keeps the switching loss manageable even at moderate frequencies.
The part is ROHS3 compliant.
Through-hole, full-pack — field-swap friendly
Through-hole mounting in the TO-220FP package means the leads are big enough to hand-solder without a hot-air station. On a field repair, that saves time and reduces the risk of a misplaced washer causing a short.
