Infineon Technologies TD210N16KOFHPSA1

Overview

TD210N16KOFHPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a phase-control thyristor module rated for 1600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), 210 A average on-state current at TC = 85 °C, and 6600 A non-repetitive surge current (ITSM). It features pressure-contact silicon pellet construction, electrically insulated baseplate, and industrial-standard housing - deployed in soft starters, UPS rectifiers, battery chargers, and static power controllers.

For engineers reviewing the TD210N16KOFHPSA1 datasheet, TD210N16KOFHPSA1 pinout, TD210N16KOFHPSA1 application, or TD210N16KOFHPSA1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical ratings, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.124 K/W), gate trigger characteristics (IGT ≤ 200 mA, VGT ≤ 2 V), and real-world use context for high-power AC control systems.

Technical Context

This dual-thyristor module operates in B2 (two-pulse) or B6 (six-pulse) bridge configurations, supporting phase-angle control of AC line voltage with critical di/dt capability of 150 A/µs and dv/dt immunity up to 1000 V/µs. Its pressure-contact die attachment ensures low thermal resistance and stable conduction under high RMS current stress.

The device integrates two anti-parallel thyristors per arm, enabling bidirectional AC switching without external reverse-blocking components. Gate triggering is optimized for standard pulse transformers or optocouplers, with latching current (IL) ≤ 1200 mA and holding current (IH) ≤ 300 mA at 25 °C.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature and how is it monitored?

The maximum junction temperature (Tvj max) is 125 °C. Since direct junction sensing is not possible, Tvj is calculated using RthJC = 0.124 K/W, measured case temperature (TC), and conduction loss derived from ITAVM and vT/rT parameters. Thermal modeling must include transient ZthJC data for pulsed loads.

Can TD210N16KOFHPSA1 be used in single-phase applications?

Yes - it supports single-phase B2 (two-pulse) bridge operation with up to 600 A peak output current at TA = 40 °C and RthCA = 0.25 K/W. Gate drive must be synchronized to line voltage zero-crossing, and snubbers sized for 150 A/µs di/dt and 1000 V/µs dv/dt.

What gate drive requirements ensure reliable turn-on across temperature?

At Tvj = 125 °C, gate trigger current must exceed 200 mA with diG/dt ≥ 1 A/µs and pulse width ≥ 20 µs. Recommended gate voltage is 12–20 V with peak power ≤ 100 W/0.5 ms (per IEC 747-6). Optocoupler drivers with ≥1 A output capability are validated.

Is the baseplate electrically isolated, and what is its isolation rating?

Yes - the baseplate uses aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic insulation rated for 3.0 kV RMS (1 minute) and 3.6 kV RMS (1 second) per IEC 61140 Class 1 safety. Creepage distance is 17 mm, enabling direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without additional insulators.
