Product details
Overview
ETT480N22P60HPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a pressure-contact phase-control thyristor module designed for high-reliability industrial power control. It delivers 480 A average on-state current (ITAVM) at TC = 85°C, 2200 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), and 14.7 kA non-repetitive surge current (ITSM), enabling robust operation in soft starters and static switches.
For engineers reviewing the ETT480N22P60HPSA1 datasheet, ETT480N22P60HPSA1 pinout, ETT480N22P60HPSA1 application, or ETT480N22P60HPSA1 equivalent, this module supports critical design decisions for high-current AC power regulation, crowbar protection, and drive rectification where thermal stability and electrical isolation are mandatory.
Technical Context
This dual-thyristor module uses pressure-contact silicon pellet technology with AlN-based internal insulation and an electrically isolated 60 mm base plate. Its 0.0705 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC, per arm, DC) and 135 °C maximum junction temperature support sustained conduction angles down to 30° in rectifier and power controller topologies.
The device exhibits 0.85 V threshold voltage (VT0), 0.484 mΩ slope resistance (rT), and 150 A/µs critical di/dt rating - enabling precise gate-triggered turn-on under high dv/dt stress (1000 V/µs). Its 3.6 kV insulation test voltage (1 sec RMS) confirms suitability for grounded-heatsink industrial installations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM / VRRM | 2200 V - Withstands repetitive AC line transients up to 2.2 kV in 3-phase bridge or phase-angle control circuits. |
| ITAVM (TC = 85°C) | 480 A - Sustained average current per arm under forced-air or liquid-cooled heatsink conditions. |
| ITSM (10 ms) | 14700 A - Handles short-circuit fault currents without latch-up or thermal runaway in crowbar applications. |
| RthJC (per arm, DC) | 0.0705 K/W - Enables efficient heat transfer from silicon die to base plate, supporting compact thermal design. |
| VISOL (1 sec) | 3.6 kV RMS - Provides reinforced isolation between power terminals and base plate for safety-compliant mounting. |
| (diT/dt)cr | 150 A/µs - Ensures reliable commutation-free turn-on even with fast-rising load currents in motor drives. |
| VT max (1700 A) | 1.83 V - Defines worst-case conduction loss at full-rated current, directly impacting thermal budget in rectifiers. |
Pinout & Package
ETT480N22P60HPSA1 is housed in an industrial-standard pressure-contact module with electrically insulated 60 mm base plate. Terminal layout follows dual-arm configuration: main power terminals (anode/cathode per thyristor) and isolated gate control terminals conforming to DIN 46244 A (2.8 × 0.8 mm flat blade).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 / K1 | Anode/Cathode of Arm 1 | High-current AC path for first thyristor leg; rated for 480 A continuous, 14.7 kA surge. |
| A2 / K2 | Anode/Cathode of Arm 2 | Independent high-current path for second thyristor leg; enables full-bridge or anti-parallel configurations. |
| G1 / K1 | Gate 1 / Cathode 1 reference | Isolated low-energy trigger input (≤250 mA IGT); referenced to Arm 1 cathode for noise-immune firing. |
| G2 / K2 | Gate 2 / Cathode 2 reference | Separate gate drive path for Arm 2; allows independent phase control or synchronized triggering. |
| Base Plate | Electrically insulated thermal interface | AlN-isolated copper base enables direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without external insulation kits. |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ETT480N22P60HPSA2 | Same die and package; differs only in production week/datecode (SA2 vs SA1); identical electrical and thermal specs. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in same designs and qualification lots. | Select when SA1 stock is depleted; no redesign or requalification required. |
| ETT480N22P60HPRA1 | Uses resin-based isolation instead of AlN; RthJC = 0.073 K/W (vs 0.0705 K/W); VISOL = 3.0 kV (1 min). | Limited to lower insulation-class systems; not suitable where 3.6 kV/1 sec isolation is mandated. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs isolation margin and thermal performance requirements. |
Compared with ETT480N22P60HPSA1, the SA2 variant offers identical performance with traceability differences, while the HPRA1 trades 0.0025 K/W higher thermal resistance and 0.6 kV lower isolation for reduced material cost - making SA1 optimal for safety-critical, thermally constrained, or long-lifecycle industrial deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The ETT480N22P60HPSA1 supports continuous operation up to +135 °C case temperature (Tc op), as verified by its thermal derating curves and 135 °C maximum junction temperature rating. At this limit, ITAVM remains 480 A when using the specified 0.0705 K/W RthJC value and appropriate heatsink design.
Can this module be used in anti-parallel configuration for AC switching?
Yes - the dual-arm structure with isolated gates (G1/K1 and G2/K2) and separate anode/cathode terminals (A1/K1 and A2/K2) enables direct anti-parallel connection for bidirectional AC phase control without external isolation components or gate driver splitting.
What gate drive voltage and current are required for reliable triggering?
A minimum gate trigger voltage of 2.2 V (VGT max) and current of 250 mA (IGT max) at 25 °C and 12 V anode-cathode voltage ensures turn-on. Gate pulses must deliver ≥20 W peak power for 10 ms (PGM curve 'a') to guarantee triggering under worst-case junction temperature and di/dt conditions.
Is external thermal interface material required between the base plate and heatsink?
No - the module's AlN-insulated base plate is designed for direct metal-to-metal mounting. Use only thermally conductive paste (not insulating pads or tapes) to fill microscopic surface gaps; torque M10 mounting screws to 6 Nm ± 0.9 Nm to maintain optimal thermal contact without cracking the ceramic layer.
