Infineon IKP15N60T 600V 15A N-Channel Power MOSFET for High-Efficiency Switching Applications

The demand for high-efficiency power conversion continues to grow across industries such as industrial motor drives, renewable energy systems, and switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). To meet these demands, power MOSFETs must offer low losses, high reliability, and robust switching performance. The Infineon IKP15N60T is a standout N-channel power MOSFET engineered specifically for these challenging high-efficiency switching applications.

Built on Infineon’s advanced TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT and MOSFET technology, this 600V, 15A device is optimized for hard-switching and soft-switching topologies at frequencies up to 50 kHz. Its core strength lies in its exceptionally low on-state resistance (R DS(on)) of just 0.19Ω, which directly minimizes conduction losses and improves overall system efficiency. This allows for cooler operation and can reduce the need for extensive heat sinking, saving both space and cost in the final design.

Another critical feature is its low gate charge (Q G) and fast switching speed, which significantly reduce switching losses. This makes the IKP15N60T an excellent choice for high-frequency circuits where efficiency is paramount. The MOSFET also boasts a low intrinsic capacitance, further enhancing its performance in applications requiring minimal drive power and rapid turn-on/off transitions.

The device is housed in a TO-220 package, providing both mechanical robustness and excellent thermal characteristics. Its high avalanche ruggedness ensures reliable operation under extreme conditions, including voltage spikes and inductive load switching. Furthermore, it is designed for high reliability and long-term performance, making it suitable for industrial and automotive environments where durability is non-negotiable.

Typical applications include power factor correction (PFC), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), solar inverters, and motor control systems. Designers can leverage the IKP15N60T to build compact, energy-efficient, and cost-effective power solutions without compromising on performance or robustness.
