FGL40N120AND IGBT Power Transistor 1200V 40A TO-264-3
The FGL40N120AND is a 1200 V NPT IGBT in a TO-264 package with an integrated fast recovery diode. Designed for high-power switching applications, it delivers low conduction loss (typ. VCE(sat) = 2.6 V @ 40 A), high input impedance and fast switching characteristics (typical turn-on/turn-off delays in the 10s–100s ns range). Typical uses include induction heating, UPS, AC/DC motor control and general purpose inverters where both ruggedness and switching speed are required.
Features
- 1200 V collector-emitter blocking voltage (NPT technology).
- Low saturation voltage: VCE(sat) ≈ 2.6 V @ IC = 40 A, VGE = 15 V.
- High input impedance (low gate leakage).
- Integrated fast recovery diode (FRD) with typical trr ≈ 75 ns.
- Fast switching: td(on) / td(off) in the tens to low hundreds of ns.
- Robust thermal performance: Pd = 500 W @ TC = 25 °C.
- Short-circuit withstand capability.
