Product details
Overview
ETD630N18P60HPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a pressure-contact thyristor module for phase-controlled AC power regulation, featuring 1800 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), 628 A average on-state current (ITAVM) at TC = 85°C, and 0.341 mΩ slope resistance (rT), deployed in industrial soft starters and UPS rectifiers.
For engineers reviewing the ETD630N18P60HPSA1 datasheet, ETD630N18P60HPSA1 pinout, ETD630N18P60HPSA1 application, or ETD630N18P60HPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.0575 K/W), critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), gate trigger current (≤250 mA), and electrically insulated 60 mm base plate compatibility with standard heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This dual-thyristor phase control module uses pressure-contact silicon pellet technology to eliminate wire bonds and ensure stable high-current conduction under thermal cycling. Its 135°C maximum junction temperature and 3.6 kV insulation test voltage (1 sec) support operation in harsh industrial environments with galvanic isolation between power and control circuits.
The device delivers precise phase-angle control via gate triggering with ≤4 µs delay time and supports commutation-safe turn-off with 270 µs typical circuit commutated turn-off time (tq) under defined voltage and current slew conditions, enabling reliable crowbar and static switch functions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phase control thyristor module applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS M5620N18K0 | Higher VDRM (2000 V), lower ITAVM (560 A), higher RthJC (0.065 K/W) | Better suited for 1380 V AC systems but requires larger heatsink for same current rating | Select when higher blocking voltage margin is prioritized over thermal efficiency. |
| STMicroelectronics T930N18TOF | Same VDRM (1800 V), lower ITAVM (520 A), non-insulated base plate (requires separate isolator) | Requires external insulation hardware and derating for same thermal performance | Select only when cost sensitivity outweighs assembly complexity and safety certification overhead. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum case temperature (TC) for continuous operation is +135°C, aligned with the device's 135°C maximum junction temperature (Tvj max) and 0.0575 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. Operation above this temperature risks irreversible degradation of the pressure-contact interface and silicon die.
Does ETD630N18P60HPSA1 require forced air cooling?
No-forced air cooling is not mandatory. With a typical case-to-heatsink thermal resistance (RthCH) of 0.015 K/W per arm, natural convection on a properly sized aluminum heatsink (≥0.1 m² surface area, finned) suffices for 628 A ITAVM at ambient ≤40°C, assuming 0.10 K/W total RthCA.
Can this module be used in anti-parallel configuration for AC switching?
Yes-ETD630N18P60HPSA1 contains two independent thyristor arms (A1/K1 and A2/K2) with fully isolated gates and cathodes, enabling true anti-parallel connection for bidirectional AC phase control without external isolation components.
What gate drive voltage and current are required for reliable triggering?
A minimum gate trigger voltage of 2 V and peak gate current of ≥1 A (with 20 µs pulse width) are required at 25°C. At Tvj max (135°C), gate trigger current rises to ≤250 mA, so drivers must sustain ≥300 mA to ensure margin across temperature and aging.
