Product details
Overview
T930N36TOFVTXPSA1 from Semikron is a high-power phase-control thyristor designed for line-commutated AC power conversion in industrial medium-voltage drives and grid-connected rectifiers. It delivers 930 A average on-state current at 85 °C case temperature, 3600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), and supports 19.5 kA non-repetitive surge current (ITSM) - enabling robust operation in 3-phase 6-pulse rectifier bridges feeding DC motors or HVDC link capacitors.
For engineers reviewing the T930N36TOFVTXPSA1 datasheet, T930N36TOFVTXPSA1 pinout, T930N36TOFVTXPSA1 application, or T930N36TOFVTXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified gate trigger current (≤250 mA), critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.0215 °C/W two-sided), and pressure-contact package compatibility with forced-air or liquid-cooled heat sinks.
Technical Context
This thyristor operates in natural commutation mode, requiring external circuit conditions (e.g., load inductance or line voltage reversal) to achieve turn-off. Its gate-controlled delay time is ≤4.5 µs under standardized test conditions (iGM = 1 A, diG/dt = 1 A/µs), and it exhibits a well-defined on-state characteristic modeled by vT = A + B·iT + C·ln(iT) + D·iT² (A=1.166, B=3.485×10⁻⁴, C=−0.07225, D=0.01453).
Thermal performance is defined for three cooling configurations: anode-, cathode-, or two-sided mounting. Transient thermal impedance ZthJC is analytically characterized across seven RC network elements, enabling accurate loss-and-temperature simulation for sinusoidal or rectangular conduction angles (30°–180°).
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (1) | Main power terminal (high-side current path) | Carries full load current into device; must be thermally coupled to heatsink via direct metal contact |
| Cathode (2) | Main power terminal (low-side current path) | Completes main conduction loop; electrically isolated from heatsink unless specified as cathode-cooled configuration |
| Gate (4) | Control input (trigger signal) | Receives low-energy pulse (≤250 mA, ≤2.2 V) to initiate conduction; sensitive to dv/dt-induced false triggering |
| Auxiliary Cathode (5) | Secondary cathode connection | Provides dedicated low-inductance return path for gate drive circuitry, improving switching reliability in high-di/dt environments |

FAQ
What is the recommended gate drive circuit for T930N36TOFVTXPSA1?
A pulse transformer or optocoupler-based gate driver delivering ≥1 A peak current for ≥20 µs is required to ensure reliable latching (IL ≤ 2500 mA). Gate resistor must limit IGT to ≤250 mA while maintaining VGT ≤ 2.2 V; typical RGK = 10 Ω achieves this with 25 V gate supply.
Can T930N36TOFVTXPSA1 be used in forced-commutated circuits?
No - this device is strictly a line-commutated thyristor with no inherent turn-off capability. It requires external circuit commutation (e.g., voltage reversal or load current zero-crossing) and cannot be gated off. For forced commutation, consider GTOs or IGCTs instead.
What thermal interface material is specified for the TO-240AA package?
Semikron specifies thermal grease (e.g., Dow Corning TC-5022) applied at 0.1 mm thickness between both anode and cathode surfaces and their respective heatsinks. Surface flatness must be ≤20 µm and roughness ≤0.8 µm Ra to maintain uniform clamping pressure and minimize interfacial thermal resistance.
How does the auxiliary cathode terminal (pin 5) function in practical layouts?
The auxiliary cathode provides a dedicated low-inductance return path for gate drive current, decoupling gate loop inductance from the main power loop. It must be routed separately from main cathode traces and connected directly to the gate driver ground plane to suppress false triggering during high di/dt events.
