Product details
Overview
T1503N80TOHPRXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a light-triggered phase-control thyristor designed for high-voltage, high-current power conversion systems. It features VRRM = 8000 V, ITAVM = 1770 A (TC = 85°C), RthJC = 6.0 K/kW, and integrated break-over diode protection. It is deployed in HVDC transmission valves where precise light-triggered commutation and robust DC blocking stability are required.
For engineers reviewing the T1503N80TOHPRXPSA1 datasheet, T1503N80TOHPRXPSA1 pinout, T1503N80TOHPRXPSA1 application, or T1503N80TOHPRXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 8 kV repetitive reverse voltage, 57 kA surge current rating, 300 A/µs critical di/dt capability, clamping force range (63–91 kN), and two-sided thermal interface compatibility.
Technical Context
This thyristor employs direct optical triggering with an integrated break-over diode for fail-safe overvoltage protection during transient events. Its gate is optically isolated, eliminating electrical gate drive complexity while enabling synchronized multi-device firing in series-connected valve stacks.
The device delivers full 50/60 Hz AC blocking across –40°C to +120°C junction temperature and maintains high DC blocking stability under sustained reverse bias. Its 0.44 mΩ slope resistance and 1.24 V threshold voltage define conduction behavior under rated 4000 A on-state conditions at Tvj = 120°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 8000 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe DC and AC blocking margin in HVDC converter bridges. |
| ITAVM | 1770 A @ TC = 85°C - Average on-state current; sets continuous power handling in forced-cooled rectifier arms. |
| ITSM | 57000 A @ tP = 10 ms - Non-repetitive surge current; determines short-circuit withstand in crowbar protection circuits. |
| (di/dt)cr | 300 A/µs - Minimum guaranteed turn-on di/dt; ensures reliable commutation without spurious triggering in load-commutated inverters. |
| RthJC | 6.0 K/kW - Junction-to-case thermal resistance (two-sided cooling); enables thermal design of water-cooled heat sinks for 1.2 MW+ per device. |
| vT0 | 1.24 V - Threshold voltage at Tvj = 120°C; used with rT = 0.44 mΩ to calculate on-state loss (Pcond ≈ vT0·iT + rT·iT²). |
| (dv/dt)cr | 2000 V/µs - Critical rate of rise of off-state voltage; specifies immunity to false turn-on during fast transients in static var compensators. |
| Clamping Force | 63–91 kN - Required mechanical compression range; ensures low-contact-resistance Si-pellet interface and thermal integrity under thermal cycling. |

Package: Press-pack, double-sided cooled, disc-type thyristor with anode and cathode contact surfaces and optical gate input. Diameter: 151.5 mm; contact diameter: 100 mm; height: 40 mm; weight: 3200 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (1) | Main current terminal (high-side) | Carries full forward conduction current; must be mounted to heatsink with specified clamping force and thermal interface material. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Crowbar switch activated within microseconds upon overvoltage detection to shunt fault current away from sensitive converters. Use Value: 300 A/µs (di/dt)cr and 550 µs turn-off time ensure rapid, controlled energy diversion before downstream damage occurs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage light-triggered thyristor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABB 5STP 32L6800 | VRRM = 6800 V; ITAVM = 1600 A; optical gate; RthJC = 6.5 K/kW | Limited to ≤±600 kV HVDC; lower surge rating (52 kA) restricts use in high-fault-current grids | Select when system voltage < 6.8 kV and existing ABB valve infrastructure mandates form-fit compatibility. |
| Mitsubishi RT3000FZ-80 | VRRM = 8000 V; ITAVM = 1500 A; electrically triggered; RthJC = 7.2 K/kW | Requires isolated gate drivers; higher thermal resistance increases heatsink size and cost in high-power density designs | Choose only if legacy gate driver architecture prohibits optical redesign and 1500 A rating suffices. |
Compared with ABB 5STP 32L6800 and Mitsubishi RT3000FZ-80, T1503N80TOHPRXPSA1 offers superior 8 kV blocking headroom, highest ITAVM among 8 kV-class devices, and lowest RthJC, making it optimal for new-build HVDC and high-reliability crowbar systems demanding minimal thermal overhead.

FAQ
What is the required optical trigger power for reliable turn-on?
The maximum specified minimum gate trigger light power is 40 mW at Tvj = 25°C and vD = 150 V. Operation below this level risks incomplete or delayed conduction. System-level validation at elevated junction temperatures (up to 120°C) is recommended, as de-rating applies per the datasheet's 0.16%/K factor.
Can T1503N80TOHPRXPSA1 be used with single-sided cooling?
Yes, but thermal performance degrades significantly: RthJC rises to 10.6 K/kW (anode-side) or 13.8 K/kW (cathode-side), reducing maximum sustainable power by ~40% versus two-sided cooling. Mechanical mounting must still apply full 63–91 kN clamping force to maintain contact integrity.
What is the meaning of the 'H' and 'O' letters in the part number?
The 5th letter 'H' denotes (dv/dt)cr = 2000 V/µs; the 4th letter 'O' indicates circuit-commutated turn-off time (tq) = 550 µs (typical). These suffixes encode critical dynamic ratings directly tied to application-specific commutation and transient immunity requirements.
Is external snubber circuitry required for normal operation?
No external snubber is required for standard line-commutated operation due to the integrated break-over diode and validated (dv/dt)cr of 2000 V/µs. However, snubbers remain recommended in forced-commutated topologies (e.g., LCI) where voltage transients exceed device limits during turn-off.
