Re: 40N60 IGBTs no longer available? (fwd)

Original poster: Shaun Epp <scepp@xxxxxxx>

Hello,
I checked Fairchilds web site and they have 40N60s in a TO-3FP case which looks like a TO-247 case and they're available as samples. They have the diode built into then too. The rated pulse current is only 160 amps which is much lower than the SOT-227 which is rated at 300 amps. You'll need a work email address to order samples but you can have them delivered to your home.

Josh,

Be careful about the package type.  I started the 40N60 craze (as far
as i can tell), and i used the SOT-227 (mini block) package.  The
40N60 still exists in TO-247 package.  I can not vouch for their
robustness in DRSSTC use, as i havent tried them.  With some care, im
sure they will work, but you probably cant punish them as much as the
mini-block type.

Be sure to get the ones with an internal diode, it saves a lot of
design work on the bridge.

As I was reading up on DRSSTCs on Hv Wiki the information that I got said
that the 40N60 IGBTs that I've see so many people use is no longer
available. Is this true? If so I have come across the 30N60 IGBTs that are
in the same line as the 40N60s. The only diference is that they are rated 4
amps less. Will theses be okay to use?
