IRG4BC20UD IGBT
The IRG4BC20UD is a 600 V, 14 A insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) from International Rectifier, featuring an integrated ultrafast soft-recovery diode. It is designed to reduce conduction losses and heat generation with a typical saturation voltage of 1.85 V, supporting high-frequency operation in industrial, renewable, and automotive power systems.
The device is suitable for high-frequency switching applications, including hard-switching up to 40 kHz and resonant switching above 200 kHz. Its Generation 4 IGBT structure ensures consistent performance across applications. The integrated HEXFRED™ diode offers fast soft-recovery characteristics, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) in power circuits.
Housed in a TO‑220AB package, the IRG4BC20UD provides efficient thermal performance with junction-to-case thermal resistances of 2.1 °C/W (IGBT) and 3.5 °C/W (diode). It operates reliably in a wide temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C , making it suitable for motor drives, solar inverters, EV power systems, UPS, and industrial automation.
