650 V, 80 A Trench Field Stop IGBT in TO-3P
The STMicroelectronics STGWT60H65DFB is a 650 V, 80 A Trench Field Stop IGBT in a TO-3P-3 through-hole package. It targets hard-switching applications such as motor drives, inverters, and power supplies where conduction and switching losses drive the thermal design.
Conduction and switching losses at 60 A
The switching energy at 400 V, 60 A, with a 5 Ω gate resistor measures 1.09 mJ during turn-on and 626 µJ during turn-off, giving a total per-cycle loss that drives the heatsink requirement in a hard-switched converter. Gate charge is 306 nC total.
Junction temperature range is -55°C to 175°C, exceeding the typical industrial 150°C ceiling. This headroom matters for motor-drive or inverter designs where the IGBT sits near the heatsink in a sealed enclosure. The TO-3P-3 package (also known as SC-65-3) has a large copper tab for bolt-down heatsink mounting — the thermal interface material and mounting torque directly affect the junction-to-case thermal resistance.
