Product details
Overview
T2160N22TOFVTXPSA1 from Semikron is a high-power, phase-control thyristor designed for industrial AC power regulation in medium- to high-voltage line-commutated converters. It delivers 2200 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), 5460 A RMS on-state current (ITRMS), and 44 kA non-repetitive surge current (ITSM) at 10 ms, operating up to 125 °C junction temperature in dual-sided cooled configurations.
For engineers reviewing the T2160N22TOFVTXPSA1 datasheet, T2160N22TOFVTXPSA1 pinout, T2160N22TOFVTXPSA1 application, or T2160N22TOFVTXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate trigger current (≤300 mA), critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), thermal resistance (0.0078 °C/W junction-to-case, two-sided cooling), and latching/holding current behavior under 50 Hz line commutation.
Technical Context
This thyristor operates as a line-commutated, gate-controlled rectifier in phase-angle controlled AC–DC conversion stages. Its design supports forced commutation-free operation in motor drives, static VAR compensators, and DC traction rectifiers where natural current zero-crossing enables turn-off.
It features a silicon pellet with pressure-contact packaging, requiring precise clamping force (42–95 kN) and symmetrical heatsink mounting. The gate control interface uses flat and round terminal variants per AMP 60598, with defined triggering thresholds (VGT ≤ 3 V, IGT ≤ 300 mA) and robust non-trigger immunity (VGD ≤ 0.25 V, IGD ≤ 5 mA at 0.5 VDRM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM / VRRM | 2200 V - Maximum repetitive blocking voltage in forward/reverse direction, enabling use in 1.7 kV AC line systems with safety margin. |
| ITRMS | 5460 A - Continuous RMS conduction capability under sinusoidal 180° conduction, defining thermal sizing for heatsink and busbar design. |
| ITSM (10 ms) | 44000 A - Peak short-circuit withstand current, determining fuse coordination and protection circuit interrupt speed requirements. |
| (dv/dt)cr | 1000 V/µs - Minimum required snubber dv/dt immunity to prevent false turn-on during voltage transients in inductive loads. |
| RthJC (two-sided) | 0.0078 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance under dual-sided cooling, directly setting maximum allowable case temperature at rated ITAV. |
| tq (typ) | 400 µs - Typical commutated turn-off time at full current, constraining minimum AC cycle conduction angle for reliable commutation. |
| vT (at 8800 A) | 2.65 V - On-state voltage drop at extreme current, used to calculate conduction losses (PTAV ≈ vT × ITAV) in thermal modeling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Pressure-contact, disc-type thyristor housed in insulated ceramic-metal housing with dual-sided cooling interface. Mounting requires controlled clamping force (42–95 kN) across anode and cathode surfaces. Gate terminals provided in both flat (2.8×0.5 mm) and round (Ø1.5 mm) configurations per AMP 60598 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (1) | Main power terminal - high-current path into device during conduction | Carries full load current; must be bolted to heatsink with specified torque and thermal interface material. |
| Cathode (2) | Main power terminal - high-current return path during conduction | Electrically and thermally symmetric to anode; dual-sided cooling relies on equal contact quality at both terminals. |
| Gate (4) | Control input - initiates conduction when triggered | Low-energy pulse interface (≤300 mA, ≤3 V); sensitive to noise; requires clean, low-inductance gate drive wiring. |
| Auxiliary Cathode (5) | Secondary cathode connection - improves gate control uniformity | Provides localized cathode reference near gate region to enhance triggering reliability and reduce di/dt limitations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High dv/dt immunity | 1000 V/µs critical rate ensures stable blocking during fast transients in transformer-fed rectifiers without external snubbers. |
| Low on-state resistance | 0.154 mΩ slope resistance minimizes conduction loss at high currents, reducing thermal stress in multi-thyristor stacks. |
| Robust gate non-trigger margin | VGD ≤ 0.25 V at 0.5 VDRM prevents accidental turn-on under high dv/dt or leakage conditions in noisy industrial environments. |
| Controlled turn-off timing | 400 µs typical tq enables predictable commutation in 50/60 Hz systems with ≥30° conduction angle, supporting stable closed-loop control. |
| Thermal performance scalability | 0.0078 °C/W RthJC (two-sided) allows parallel operation with matched thermal paths and current sharing via external balancing reactors. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT2160N22KOF | Same VDRM (2200 V) and ITRMS (5460 A), but uses KOOLPAK® press-pack package with integrated heatsink interface and lower RthJC (0.0065 °C/W). | Designed for direct-mount, single-sided cooling; eliminates need for external clamping hardware but requires dedicated heatsink groove. | Select when simplifying mechanical assembly and thermal interface is prioritized over field-replaceability of individual thyristors. |

FAQ
What is the recommended gate drive circuit for T2160N22TOFVTXPSA1?
A pulse-transformer–based gate driver delivering ≥1.6 A peak current with diG/dt ≥ 1.6 A/µs is recommended to ensure reliable turn-on across temperature and aging. Gate resistor must limit peak power to ≤60 W for ≤0.5 ms pulses, matching the PGM curve. Snubber networks are not required due to 1000 V/µs dv/dt immunity.
Can T2160N22TOFVTXPSA1 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-parallel operation is supported with matched devices, balanced busbar inductance (<10 nH difference), and active current-sharing reactors. Thermal coupling via shared heatsink and identical clamping force (±5 kN) is mandatory to maintain <5 °C junction temperature spread at full load.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature at 3470 A average current?
At ITAV = 3470 A with θ = 180° sinusoidal conduction and two-sided cooling, the maximum allowable case temperature is 85 °C per datasheet derating curves (page 6). Exceeding this requires reduced current or enhanced cooling to avoid exceeding 125 °C junction limit.
Does T2160N22TOFVTXPSA1 require forced commutation?
No-it is a line-commutated thyristor relying on natural current zero-crossing for turn-off. Forced commutation circuits are unnecessary and incompatible; its 400 µs tq rating assumes 50/60 Hz AC supply with ≥30° conduction angle to guarantee sufficient reverse recovery time.
