Product details
Overview
T2160N28TOFVTXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-power, phase-control thyristor designed for industrial AC power regulation in medium- to high-voltage line-commutated converters. It delivers 2800 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, enabling robust operation in HVDC valve stacks and traction rectifiers.
For engineers reviewing the T2160N28TOFVTXPSA1 datasheet, T2160N28TOFVTXPSA1 pinout, T2160N28TOFVTXPSA1 application, or T2160N28TOFVTXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate trigger current (≤300 mA), critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.0078 °C/W two-sided), and latching current (1500 mA) under standard test conditions.
Technical Context
This thyristor operates as a line-commutated, gate-controlled semiconductor switch in phase-angle controlled rectification circuits. Its design supports forced commutation via external circuitry and requires precise gate pulse timing (tgd ≤ 3 µs) with diG/dt ≥ 1.6 A/µs to ensure reliable turn-on under full-load transient conditions.
The device features a pressure-contact silicon pellet structure with dual-sided cooling capability, enabling thermal management up to 125 °C junction temperature. Its on-state characteristic follows a defined polynomial model (A=0.9039, B=1.344×10⁻⁴, C=−7.137×10⁻³, D=6.776×10⁻³) across 600–12,000 A conduction range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phase-control thyristor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT2160N28KOF | Same VDRM/VRRM (2800 V), but lower ITRMS (5000 A) and higher RthJC (0.0085 °C/W two-sided) | Suitable for lower-duty-cycle applications where average losses are reduced by 8% | Select when thermal margin exists and gate drive energy budget is constrained (lower IGT = 250 mA) |
| T2160N28TOFVTXPSA2 | Identical electrical specs, but uses alternate gate terminal geometry (round AMP 60598 vs. flat) and tighter I²t tolerance (±5% vs. ±8%) | Preferred for new designs requiring standardized gate connector tooling and enhanced short-circuit reproducibility | Choose for production programs requiring long-term mechanical interchangeability and traceable failure mode consistency |
Compared with TT2160N28KOF and T2160N28TOFVTXPSA2, the T2160N28TOFVTXPSA1 offers highest RMS current capability and lowest thermal resistance, making it optimal for continuous high-power operation where thermal headroom is limiting.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate drive circuit for T2160N28TOFVTXPSA1?
A gate drive must deliver ≥1.6 A/µs diG/dt with ≤3 µs delay and ≥1.6 A peak current for 20 µs. Infineon recommends using isolated gate drivers like 1ED020I12FA with 25 V gate supply and 0.1 µF local decoupling. Gate resistor selection (typically 1–5 Ω) balances turn-on speed against overshoot and EMI.
Can T2160N28TOFVTXPSA1 be operated with single-sided cooling?
Yes, but with derating: RthJC increases to 0.0152 °C/W (anode) or 0.0183 °C/W (cathode), reducing maximum ITAV from 3470 A (θ=180°, TC=55°C) to 2150 A. Thermal simulation is mandatory, and auxiliary cathode terminal must remain electrically grounded to avoid floating potential.
What is the meaning of the 'F' and 'O' letters in the part number T2160N28TOFVTXPSA1?
The 'F' is the 5th letter indicating critical dv/dt rating of 1000 V/µs; the 'O' is the 4th letter specifying typical commutated turn-off time (tq) of 400 µs. These suffixes denote factory-tested performance bins aligned with IEC 60747-6 compliance requirements for high-reliability power conversion.
How does the auxiliary cathode terminal function in this thyristor?
The auxiliary cathode (Kaux) provides a dedicated low-inductance reference point for gate drive return and voltage sensing, isolating control circuitry from main cathode current transients. It must be connected directly to the gate driver ground plane and not used for main current conduction.
