Product details
Overview
T2600N16TOFVTXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-power phase-control thyristor designed for medium-voltage AC power conversion and soft-start applications. It delivers 2610 A average on-state current at 85 °C case temperature, 1600–1800 V repetitive peak blocking voltage, and 44 kA non-repetitive surge current capability. Its pressure-contact, two-sided cooled package supports industrial drive rectifiers and medium-voltage converters.
For engineers reviewing the T2600N16TOFVTXPSA1 datasheet, T2600N16TOFVTXPSA1 pinout, T2600N16TOFVTXPSA1 application, or T2600N16TOFVTXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping force range (30–65 kN), junction-to-case thermal resistance (11.7 K/kW), gate trigger current (≤250 mA), and critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs) under full-blocking conditions.
Technical Context
This thyristor operates as a line-commutated, gate-controlled switch in phase-angle controlled rectification circuits. It sustains full 50/60 Hz blocking over –40 °C to +135 °C junction temperature, with verified DC blocking stability and 250 µs circuit commutated turn-off time at rated current and voltage conditions.
Its silicon pellet uses double-sided pressure contact for thermal and mechanical reliability. Gate triggering follows IEC 60747-6 standards, with defined latching (1500 mA), holding (300 mA), and non-trigger thresholds to ensure robust noise immunity in high-noise industrial environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phase-control thyristor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT2600N16KOF | Same voltage/current ratings; uses different gate topology (K-class) and lower clamping force (25–55 kN). | Optimized for single-sided cooling; less suitable for high-duty-cycle dual-heatsink installations. | Select when retrofitting legacy K-series mounts or where lower mechanical preload is required. |
| T2600N16TOFVTXPSA2 | Identical specs except vT max = 1.65 V (vs. 1.7 V) and tighter RthJC tolerance (±5% vs. ±8%). | Targeted for high-reliability aerospace or rail traction where thermal margin is critical. | Choose for mission-critical applications requiring tighter conduction loss and thermal resistance consistency. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable clamping force for T2600N16TOFVTXPSA1?
The specified clamping force range is 30–65 kN. Exceeding 65 kN risks silicon pellet fracture or metallization damage, while forces below 30 kN may cause thermal runaway due to insufficient interfacial contact. Calibration using hydraulic torque tools per Infineon Application Note AN2021-003 is mandatory for production assembly.
Does T2600N16TOFVTXPSA1 support forced-air cooling?
No-it requires two-sided liquid or high-mass passive heatsinking with direct metal-to-metal contact on both anode and cathode faces. Forced-air cooling alone cannot dissipate the 11.7 K/kW thermal resistance at rated current; thermal simulation per Infineon's ZthJC transient model (page 5) is required before airflow-only deployment.
What gate drive voltage and current are required for reliable turn-on?
A minimum gate trigger voltage of 2 V and current of 250 mA (at 25 °C) is required. For guaranteed turn-on across temperature and aging, Infineon specifies 10 V/1 A pulses with di/dt ≥1 A/µs and pulse width ≥20 µs. Gate resistor selection must limit peak power to ≤60 W (0.5 ms) per Figure 7.
Can T2600N16TOFVTXPSA1 be used in asymmetrical half-wave configurations?
No-this device is a symmetrical, fully rated bidirectional blocking thyristor intended for full-wave, phase-controlled rectification. Asymmetrical operation violates its VDSM/VVRSM derating curves and risks premature failure due to unbalanced junction heating and reverse recovery stress.
