Product details
Overview
TD180N16KOFHPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a phase-control thyristor module rated for 1600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), 180 A average on-state current (ITAVM) at TC = 85°C, and 285 A RMS on-state current (ITRMSM), designed for industrial AC power control in medium-power rectifier and motor drive bridges.
For engineers reviewing the TD180N16KOFHPSA1 datasheet, TD180N16KOFHPSA1 pinout, TD180N16KOFHPSA1 application, or TD180N16KOFHPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), gate trigger current (≤150 mA), junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.096 °C/W per arm), and surge current capability (4100 A @ Tvj max, 10 ms).
Technical Context
This dual-thyristor module implements a B6 (six-pulse) bridge configuration with pressure-contact silicon die and aluminum nitride (AlN) internal insulation. It supports natural or forced cooling with validated thermal impedance models for both sinusoidal and rectangular conduction angles.
Designed for line-commutated operation, it features a circuit commutated turn-off time (tq) of 200 µs (typ.) at Tvj max, vRM = 100 V, and dvD/dt = 20 V/µs, enabling reliable commutation in controlled rectifiers up to 50/60 Hz mains frequency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM / VRRM | 1600 V - Maximum repetitive blocking voltage in forward/reverse direction, defining safe AC line voltage rating (e.g., 690 VAC 3-phase systems) |
| ITAVM (TC = 85°C) | 180 A - Average on-state current per arm under specified heatsink temperature, used for continuous DC output design |
| ITRMSM | 285 A - RMS on-state current per arm, determining I²t-based thermal stress during non-sinusoidal load cycles |
| (dvD/dt)cr | 1000 V/µs - Minimum critical rate-of-rise of off-state voltage before spurious turn-on, requiring snubber design margin |
| RthJC (per arm, DC) | 0.096 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance under DC conduction, directly sizing heatsink thermal capacity |
| ITSM (Tvj max) | 4100 A - Non-repetitive surge current capability for 10 ms, supporting short-circuit withstand in motor drives |
| vT (max, 500 A) | 1.41 V - Maximum on-state voltage drop at high current, setting conduction loss baseline (≈705 W per arm at 500 A) |
| tq (typ.) | 200 µs - Circuit commutated turn-off time, constraining minimum commutation interval in B6 bridge operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phase-control thyristor module applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT180N16KOFHPSA1 | Same die, identical ratings, but single-thyristor configuration (not dual-arm) | Requires two modules for B6 bridge; higher footprint and interconnect complexity | Select when modular redundancy or independent arm replacement is required |
| TD180N16KO1FHPSA1 | Identical electrical specs; differs only in packaging marking ('1' suffix denotes revision-level traceability) | No functional difference; fully interchangeable in all circuits and thermal layouts | Select for new designs requiring latest production revision with enhanced lot traceability |
Compared with TT180N16KOFHPSA1, TD180N16KOFHPSA1 reduces system component count by integrating two arms in one package, while TD180N16KO1FHPSA1 offers identical performance with updated manufacturing traceability-both preserve the same 1600 V/180 A/1000 V/µs design envelope.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for TD180N16KOFHPSA1?
The maximum junction temperature (Tvj max) is 130 °C, as specified in the datasheet's thermal properties table. This limit governs thermal design margins and must be respected under all operating conditions-including surge, transient, and steady-state loads-to prevent irreversible degradation of the silicon die or AlN insulation.
Does TD180N16KOFHPSA1 require forced cooling?
No-TD180N16KOFHPSA1 supports both natural (air) and forced (fan) cooling. Its thermal data includes validated ZthCA models for both modes: natural cooling uses KM17 heatsink (45 W), while forced cooling uses KM17 with Papst 4650N fan. Designers select based on ambient temperature, duty cycle, and enclosure constraints.
Can TD180N16KOFHPSA1 be used in asymmetrical half-wave configurations?
Yes-it can operate in asymmetrical configurations, but gate drive must respect individual arm ratings and thermal derating. The module's dual-arm isolation allows independent triggering, though asymmetry increases RMS current imbalance and may reduce overall thermal efficiency versus symmetrical B6 operation.
What is the recommended gate drive circuit for TD180N16KOFHPSA1?
A gate drive delivering ≥0.6 A peak pulse current with diG/dt ≥ 0.6 A/µs and pulse width ≥20 µs ensures reliable latching (IL ≤ 800 mA). Isolated gate drivers with adjustable pulse width and current limiting-such as Infineon's 1ED020I12-F2-are recommended to meet IGT ≤ 150 mA and VGT ≤ 2 V requirements while avoiding overdrive damage.
