An IGBT combines characteristics of a MOSFET and a bipolar transistor. Its insulated gate requires very little steady-state gate current, while its power semiconductor structure allows it to handle relatively high voltage and current.

When a suitable voltage is applied between Gate and Emitter, the device turns ON and allows current to flow between Collector and Emitter. Removing the gate drive turns it OFF.

Solar power inverters
UPS systems
Battery chargers
Switching power supplies
Motor controllers
Induction-heating circuits
Motor drives
DC-to-AC converters

TO-220 Package

The TO-220 package makes the component relatively easy to mount on a PCB or heatsink. Because the device can dissipate significant power during operation, a heatsink may be required depending on the switching frequency, current, voltage, and circuit design.

Pin Configuration

For many TO-220 IGBT versions, the front-facing leads are commonly arranged:

1 — Gate (G)
2 — Collector (C)
3 — Emitter (E)

However, pinout must be verified from the exact manufacturer's datasheet, because similarly marked components can have different configurations.

Advantages

High 600 V voltage rating
High-current switching capability
Insulated gate requires very little steady-state gate current
Compact TO-220 package
Easy PCB mounting
Can handle substantial power when properly cooled
Useful for inverter and motor-control applications
