Product details
Overview
T2810N16TOFVTXPSA1 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 2810 A average on-state current at 85 °C case temperature, supports 1600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), and features 58 kA non-repetitive surge current capability - enabling use in HVDC converter valves, static VAR compensators, and large motor soft starters.
For engineers reviewing the T2810N16TOFVTXPSA1 datasheet, T2810N16TOFVTXPSA1 pinout, T2810N16TOFVTXPSA1 application, or T2810N16TOFVTXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate trigger current (≤300 mA), critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.0085 °C/W two-sided), and latching current (1500 mA) under standard test conditions.
Technical Context
This thyristor operates as a line-commutated, gate-controlled rectifier in half- or full-wave AC phase control topologies. Its 125 °C maximum junction temperature, 300 µs typical turn-off time (tq), and 200 A/µs critical di/dt rating define its suitability for 50/60 Hz grid-synchronized switching with forced commutation constraints.
The device uses a silicon pellet with pressure-contact packaging and dual-side cooling interface. Its on-state characteristic follows vT = 0.90 V + 0.112 mΩ·iT, validated across 700–14,100 A conduction range at Tvj = 125 °C, supporting precise loss modeling in high-current busbar designs.

Pinout & Package
Package: Pressure-contact, disc-type thyristor housed in TO-240AA (also referenced as "T2810N" mechanical outline per Infineon Annex Page 3), requiring clamping force of 42–95 kN. Two-sided cooling interface with anode and cathode faces thermally active; gate and auxiliary cathode terminals mounted on flat and round (AMP 60598) interfaces respectively.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (1) | Main current entry during forward conduction | High-current, thermally coupled interface; must be bolted to heatsink with specified clamping force |
| Cathode (2) | Main current exit during forward conduction | Second thermal interface; enables two-sided cooling when mounted with anode on opposing heatsink surface |
| Gate (4) | Control terminal for triggering conduction | Flat contact pad accepting low-energy pulse (≤60 W/0.5 ms); sensitive to ESD and overvoltage |
| Auxiliary Cathode (5) | Secondary cathode connection for gate drive referencing | Provides low-inductance return path for gate current; improves di/dt immunity during turn-on |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-sided thermal interface | Enables 0.0085 °C/W RthJC, reducing junction temperature rise by >40% vs. single-sided mounting at 2810 A |
| High dv/dt immunity | 1000 V/µs critical rating ensures stable blocking under fast-rising transients in transformer-coupled AC lines |
| Low on-state slope resistance | 0.112 mΩ enables <2.13 V forward drop at 11 kA, minimizing conduction losses in multi-kA valve stacks |
| Controlled turn-off behavior | 300 µs tq supports reliable commutation in 50 Hz systems with 100 V reverse recovery voltage margin |
| Robust gate drive compatibility | Accepts 1 A/µs diG/dt with ≤4 µs delay; compatible with standard pulse transformers and opto-trigger circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phase-control thyristor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT1750N16KOF | Lower ITAVM (1750 A @ 85 °C); same VDRM (1600 V); higher RthJC (0.011 °C/W) | Suitable only for lower-current SVC arms or smaller soft starters (<8 MW) | Select when system derating allows 38% lower average current and space-constrained mounting permits higher thermal resistance. |
| T3100N16TOF | Higher ITAVM (3100 A @ 85 °C); identical VDRM, RthJC, and tq; requires 55 kN min. clamping force | Drop-in upgrade path for future-proofing HVDC valve designs targeting >3000 A long-term operation | Choose for new designs requiring headroom above 2810 A or extended lifetime under cyclic overload conditions. |
Compared with TT1750N16KOF, T2810N16TOFVTXPSA1 provides 60% higher average current handling and 23% lower thermal resistance - directly enabling higher power density in converter valves. Against T3100N16TOF, it trades 10% lower current rating for proven field reliability and tighter gate parameter tolerances in legacy control systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum gate trigger voltage required for reliable turn-on?
The maximum gate trigger voltage (VGT) is 2.5 V at 25 °C with 12 V anode-cathode voltage. Reliable turn-on is achieved with ≥3.0 V pulses under worst-case conditions (Tvj = 125 °C, aged device), verified per DIN IEC 60747-6 test conditions using 1 A/µs diG/dt and 20 µs pulse width.
Can this thyristor be used in forced-commutated circuits?
No - T2810N16TOFVTXPSA1 is designed exclusively for line-commutated operation. Its 300 µs typical turn-off time (tq) and lack of gate-turn-off capability make it unsuitable for chopper or inverter topologies requiring active commutation; use GTOs or IGCTs instead.
What clamping force is required for thermal performance validation?
A clamping force of 42–95 kN is mandatory per the datasheet Annex Page 3. Performance validation of RthJC = 0.0085 °C/W assumes 65 kN nominal force applied uniformly across the anode and cathode faces using calibrated hydraulic presses and torque-controlled bolts.
How does the auxiliary cathode terminal improve system reliability?
The auxiliary cathode (Terminal 5) provides a dedicated, low-inductance return path for gate current, decoupling gate drive loops from main current paths. This reduces electromagnetic interference during high-di/dt turn-on and prevents false triggering caused by cathode voltage spikes exceeding VGD = 0.25 V threshold.
