Product details
Overview
T1503NH80TOHXOSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a light-triggered phase control thyristor designed for high-power crowbar and pulsed power applications. It features 8000 V reverse blocking voltage (VRRM), 1770 A average on-state current (ITAVM) at TC = 85°C, 57 kA surge current capability (ITSM), and extreme di/dt rating of 5000 A/µs. Its pressure-contact silicon pellet construction supports direct optical triggering with integrated break-over diode protection.
For engineers reviewing the T1503NH80TOHXOSA1 datasheet, T1503NH80TOHXOSA1 pinout, T1503NH80TOHXOSA1 application, or T1503NH80TOHXOSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 8000 V VRRM, clamping force range (63–91 kN), two-sided thermal resistance (6.0 K/kW), gate trigger light power limit (40 mW), and transient thermal impedance profile for crowbar duty cycling.
Technical Context
This thyristor operates as a line-commutated, light-triggered switching device with full 50/60 Hz blocking over –40°C to +120°C junction temperature. Its protective breakover voltage (VBO ≥ 7500 V) ensures reliable overvoltage clamping without external crowbar circuitry.
The device uses a pressure-contact Si-pellet structure with anode/cathode dual-side cooling interface and gate terminal accessible via optical fiber coupling. Critical parameters-5000 A/µs (diT/dt)cr and 2000 V/µs (dvD/dt)cr-enable fast turn-on under high di/dt stress and robust off-state voltage transients in HVDC and pulsed power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 8000 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking margin in HVAC/HVDC crowbar circuits |
| ITAVM @ TC=85°C | 1770 A - continuous RMS conduction rating; sets thermal design basis for heatsink sizing with two-sided cooling |
| ITSM @ tP=10 ms | 57000 A - non-repetitive surge current; determines short-circuit withstand capability in fault-clearing applications |
| (diT/dt)cr | 5000 A/µs - minimum required rate of rise for reliable turn-on; enables use in high-dI/dt pulsed loads |
| RthJC (two-sided) | 6.0 K/kW - junction-to-case thermal resistance; used to calculate ΔTj under steady-state conduction loss |
| vT @ iT=4000 A | ≤3.0 V - on-state voltage drop; directly impacts conduction loss (Pcond ≈ iT × vT) at rated current |
| Clamping Force | 63–91 kN - mechanical contact load range; ensures stable thermal and electrical interface between Si pellet and heatsink |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar light-triggered thyristor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT1503N80KOF | Same VRRM (8000 V), lower ITAVM (1500 A @ TC=85°C), identical optical gate interface | Suitable for lower-duty-cycle crowbar applications with reduced thermal budget | Select when peak conduction time is <10% duty and heatsink capacity is constrained |
| T1503NH80TOHXOSA2 | Identical specs except QR class upgraded (4-digit → 5-digit code); same thermal/mechanical envelope | No functional difference; reflects later production batch with tighter Qr tolerance (15 mAs max vs. 15.2 mAs) | Select for new designs requiring latest revision traceability and marginally improved recovery consistency |
Compared with TT1503N80KOF, T1503NH80TOHXOSA1 delivers +18% average current capacity and better thermal headroom; versus T1503NH80TOHXOSA2, it offers identical performance but earlier production traceability-critical for legacy system maintenance.

FAQ
What is the gate trigger mechanism for T1503NH80TOHXOSA1?
The device uses optical triggering: a light pulse (≤40 mW, 50–1000 nm spectrum) incident on the integrated gate photodiode initiates conduction. No electrical gate connection exists-triggering is fully isolated, eliminating ground-loop risks and enabling direct integration into high-voltage floating systems.
Can T1503NH80TOHXOSA1 be mounted with single-sided cooling?
Yes, but with derating: RthJC increases to 13.8 K/kW (cathode-side only) or 10.6 K/kW (anode-side only). This reduces maximum ITAVM to ~1200 A at TC = 85°C. Two-sided cooling is required to achieve the full 1770 A rating and maintain junction temperature ≤120°C under continuous load.
What does the "H" in the 5th letter of the type designation indicate?
The "H" denotes the protective breakover voltage class: VBO ≥ 7500 V (minimum) at Tvj = 25°C to Tvj max. This distinguishes it from "G" (≥7000 V) or "I" (≥8000 V) variants and confirms suitability for 8000 V-class system overvoltage protection without external clamping.
Is the clamping force range (63–91 kN) applied per side or total?
The clamping force is total compressive load applied across the entire device stack-i.e., the sum of mechanical force exerted by both anode and cathode side mounting hardware. It must be uniformly distributed over the 100 mm contact diameter to avoid localized hot spots and ensure consistent RthJC and vT performance.
