Product details
Overview
ETT580N16P60HPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a pressure-contact phase-control thyristor module rated for 1600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), 586 A average on-state current at TC = 85°C (ITAVM), and 16.5 kA non-repetitive surge current (ITSM). It features electrically insulated baseplate, Advanced Medium Power Technology (AMPT), and is designed for high-reliability industrial power control in soft starters and static switches.
For engineers reviewing the ETT580N16P60HPSA1 datasheet, ETT580N16P60HPSA1 pinout, ETT580N16P60HPSA1 application, or ETT580N16P60HPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.0645 K/W), threshold voltage (0.8 V), slope resistance (0.327 mΩ), critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), and gate trigger current (≤250 mA) under drive conditions.
Technical Context
This dual-thyristor module implements phase-angle control in AC power circuits using pressure-contact silicon die with basic insulation (Class I, IEC61140) and AlN ceramic substrate. Its 60 mm baseplate supports forced-air or liquid-cooled heatsinking, and it operates across -40°C to +135°C case temperature range.
The device delivers precise conduction-angle control via gate triggering with ≤4 µs delay time, withstands 3.6 kV insulation test voltage (1 sec), and exhibits 300 µs circuit-commutated turn-off time (tq) under specified commutation conditions - enabling robust operation in crowbar and rectifier applications with high di/dt immunity (200 A/µs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM / VRRM | 1600 V - Maximum repetitive blocking voltage per thyristor arm; defines maximum AC line voltage compatibility in B2/B6 bridge configurations. |
| ITAVM (TC = 85°C) | 586 A - Continuous DC-equivalent current per arm; determines steady-state thermal design margin with 0.0645 K/W RthJC. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ETT580N16P60HPSA2 | Same electrical specs; differs only in datecode and internal production batch traceability (SA2 vs SA1). | No functional difference; identical thermal, electrical, and mechanical performance. | Select SA2 for new production builds requiring latest revision traceability. |
| eTD580N16P60 | Identical VDRM, ITAVM, ITSM, and RthJC; differs in gate trigger characteristics (IGT max 200 mA vs 250 mA) and lower tq (250 µs vs 300 µs). | Better suited for higher-frequency commutation but requires tighter gate drive timing control. | Prefer eTD580N16P60 when faster turn-off is critical and gate drive can support lower IGT. |
Compared with ETT580N16P60HPSA1, the SA2 variant offers identical performance with updated manufacturing traceability, while eTD580N16P60 trades slightly reduced gate sensitivity for faster commutation - making it preferable in high-switching-frequency rectifiers but less tolerant of marginal gate drive margins.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for ETT580N16P60HPSA1?
The maximum junction temperature (Tvj max) is 135°C, as specified in the official Infineon technical information document revision 3.7. This rating applies under all operating conditions including surge events, and must be maintained via proper heatsinking to ensure 100% rated ITAVM at TC = 85°C.
Can ETT580N16P60HPSA1 be used in three-phase six-pulse (B6) rectifier configurations?
Yes - the dual-thyristor architecture supports B6 bridge implementation. Each arm handles one phase leg, with documented ID ratings up to 1000 A in B6 configuration at TA = 25°C and RthCA = 0.10 K/W, per Figure 8 in the technical information sheet.
What gate drive requirements must be met to ensure reliable turn-on?
Gate trigger current must reach ≥1 A for latching (IL ≤1500 mA), with IGT ≤250 mA and VGT ≤2 V at 25°C and vD = 12 V. Recommended gate pulse width is ≥20 µs, and peak gate power must not exceed 60 W for 0.5 ms pulses, per Figure 6.
Is the baseplate electrically isolated, and what is its insulation rating?
Yes - the baseplate uses AlN ceramic for basic insulation (Class I, IEC61140), rated for 3.6 kV RMS at 50 Hz for 1 second. This allows direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without additional isolation hardware in most industrial installations.
