IKD03N60RF Datasheet, PDF (12/16 Pages) Infineon Technologies AG – “RC-D Fast”: RC-Drives IGBT optimized for high switching frequency

RC-Drives
Cost-Optimized IGBT for Consumer Drive Application
The temperature distribution is quite uniform, as demonstrated by detailed analysis of the
thermal images:

This translates in increased reliability and longer life expectancy for the device, especially in the
harsh thermal environments to be encountered in a real application. In the case of outdoor fan
for domestic split Aircon systems, for example, the board is mounted directly on the back of the
motor in a close environment without airflow. In this case high ambient temperature up to ~60°C
can be expected:
