Dear Alberto,

unfortunately, the answer always depends a bit on your specific case.

I assume that you are looking for an IGBT with short circuit ruggedness. So please have a look at the TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7 family. The part number is

• IKW**N65ET7 (highly controllable switching speed, low Vcesat)

If you do not really have short circuit ruggedness requirements you could also consider the TRENCHSTOP™ 5 family, in particular the part numbers

• IKW**N65H5 - optimized for lowest switching losses
  (performance optimization, general purpose)
• IKW**N65ES5 - still quite fast but with lower Vcesat
  (performance optimization, general purpose)
• IKW**N65WR5 - still quite fast but with lower Vcesat, reverse conducting
  (cost/performance optimization for boost converters or circuits operated in soft switching mode)
• IKWH**N65WR6 - still quite fast but with lower Vcesat, reverse conducting
  (cost/performance optimization for boost converters or circuits operated in soft switching mode)

Note that I put a double-asterisk instead of a specific current rating because the four devices listed above are more recent IGBT technologies than the IKW40N60H3. Since they might allow a drastic reduction of both conduction and switching losses you could potentially consider to use a 30A device instead of a 40A device.

Hope that helps!
Best regards,
Klaus
