IRGPS47160DPBF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IRGPS47160DPBF is an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) rated for 650 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage with 160 A maximum collector current, housed in a TO-247-3 through-hole package. Manufactured by Infineon Technologies, this component is classified as obsolete product status. Due to its obsolete designation, identifying functionally compatible substitute parts is necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance applications, and production continuity where this device is specified in existing schematics or bill of materials.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IRGPS47160DPBF is determined by the following critical parameters:

Voltage Rating: The substitute part must operate at or above the 650 V collector-emitter breakdown specification. The IKQ120N60TXKSA1 is rated for 600 V, which represents a 50 V reduction in maximum voltage rating.

Current Rating: The substitute part must support the 160 A maximum collector current requirement. The IKQ120N60TXKSA1 meets this specification with an identical 160 A Ic(Max) rating.

Package Compatibility: Both parts utilize the TO-247-3 through-hole package, ensuring mechanical and thermal interface compatibility with existing PCB layouts and heatsink mounting arrangements.

Input Type: Both parts feature Standard input type gate drive characteristics, maintaining compatibility with existing gate drive circuits.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating equivalent moisture handling and storage requirements.

The IKQ120N60TXKSA1 represents an active-status alternative from the same manufacturer with enhanced specifications in switching performance and thermal characteristics, though with a reduced voltage rating relative to the obsolete IRGPS47160DPBF.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IKQ120N60TXKSA1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete IRGPS47160DPBF. Both components share identical current ratings (160 A), matching package geometry (TO-247-3), and equivalent regulatory compliance (REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification, HTSUS 8541.29.0095).

The primary design consideration is the voltage rating differential: the substitute operates at 600 V maximum versus the original 650 V specification. Applications operating at or below 600 V bus voltage are directly compatible. Designs requiring the full 650 V rating margin must evaluate whether the 50 V reduction impacts system safety margins or operating envelope.

The IKQ120N60TXKSA1 carries active product status with current manufacturing support and documented availability (1392 pieces in stock versus 754 for the obsolete part), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability.

Both parts maintain identical MSL 1 classification and REACH compliance status, requiring no changes to moisture control procedures or regulatory documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IKQ120N60TXKSA1 directly replace the IRGPS47160DPBF in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications operating at 600 V or below. The substitute maintains identical current rating (160 A), package type (TO-247-3), and gate drive input characteristics (Standard). Designs utilizing the full 650 V rating of the original part require voltage margin analysis before substitution.

Q: What is the voltage rating difference, and does it affect circuit operation?

A: The IRGPS47160DPBF is rated 650 V; the IKQ120N60TXKSA1 is rated 600 V. This 50 V difference represents a reduction in maximum blocking voltage capability. Applications with bus voltages at or below 600 V experience no functional impact. Higher voltage applications must verify that system transient overvoltage conditions remain within the 600 V limit.

Q: Are the packages mechanically identical?

A: Yes. Both components use the TO-247-3 through-hole package. PCB footprints, heatsink mounting interfaces, and lead spacing are identical, requiring no layout modifications.

Q: What are the supply and availability differences?

A: The IRGPS47160DPBF is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (754 pieces). The IKQ120N60TXKSA1 is active production with current availability (1392 pieces documented). For new designs or long-term production, the active substitute ensures supply continuity.

Q: Do gate drive circuits require modification?

A: No. Both parts feature Standard input type gate drive characteristics. Existing gate drive circuits, voltage levels, and timing parameters remain compatible without modification.

Q: Are there differences in thermal or switching performance?

A: The IKQ120N60TXKSA1 provides documented switching energy specifications (6.2 mJ on, 5.9 mJ off) and gate charge data (703 nC) not provided for the obsolete part. These parameters indicate optimized switching performance in the substitute design. Thermal interface characteristics (TO-247-3 package) remain equivalent.

Q: What regulatory compliance applies to both parts?

A: Both components carry identical regulatory status: REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8541.29.0095. No changes to compliance documentation or export control procedures are required for substitution.
