General Description
The Supertex GN2470 is a 700V, 3.5amp insulated gate
bipolar transistor (IGBT) that combines the positive aspects
of both BJTs and MOSFETs.
The GN2470 IGBT has lower on-state voltage drop with high
blocking voltage capabilities and features many desirable
properties including a MOS input gate, low conduction voltage
drop at high currents.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Parameter Value
Collector-to-emitter voltage 700V
Gate-to-emitter voltage ±20V
Operating junction and storage
temperature range -55OC to +150OC
Soldering temperature* 300OC
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may
occur. Functional operation under these conditions is not implied. Continuous operation
of the device at the absolute rating level may affect device reliability. All voltages are
referenced to device ground.
* Distance of 1.6mm from case for 10 seconds.
