Toshiba IEGT for HV converters

Toshiba has launched the ST2000JXH35A, a new 6500V/2000A press pack injection enhanced gate transistor (IEGT) designed for high-voltage converters used in DC power transmission systems, industrial motor-drive equipment, and static synchronous compensators (STATCOM).

The  device uses trench-type IEGT ICs with an optimised cell structure to deliver high turn-off capability and robust short-circuit withstand performance.

These technical enhancements enable the device to deliver a significant improvement over Toshiba’s existing ST1700JXH26A by increasing the turn-off test voltage from 3600V to 4500V.

The product has  undergone short-circuit testing at 4500V, confirming its suitability for applications requiring high operational stability under heavy electrical loads.


The device streamlines the design of high-voltage systems. By adopting this 6500V-rated product, engineers can reduce the number of series-connected devices required in DC power transmission architectures.

The product features a press-pack design that supports double-sided cooling and a hermetic sealing structure to ensure the reliability required for long-term industrial operation.

In addition to transmission infrastructure, the ST2000JXH35A enables higher voltage ratings and more compact form factors for industrial motor drives and reactive power compensation devices that stabilise power systems.
