Product details
Overview
TD240N32KOFHPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a phase-control thyristor module rated for 3200 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), 240 A average on-state current (ITAVM) at TC = 85°C, and 700 A RMS on-state current (ITRMSM), designed for high-power AC line commutation in industrial rectifier and motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the TD240N32KOFHPSA1 datasheet, TD240N32KOFHPSA1 pinout, TD240N32KOFHPSA1 application, or TD240N32KOFHPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), gate trigger current (≤250 mA), junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.0373 °C/W per module), and forced-cooling-compatible mounting torque (12 Nm).
Technical Context
This dual-thyristor module implements a B6 six-pulse bridge configuration with pressure-contact silicon pellets and aluminum nitride (AlN) internal insulation. It supports natural or forced cooling and operates across -40°C to +125°C case temperature range.
Its circuit commutated turn-off time (tq) is 350 µs at Tvj max, with critical di/dt capability of 100 A/µs and holding current ≤300 mA. The module requires gate triggering with ≤1.5 V and ≥1 A pulse under specified diG/dt conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| ITAVM @ TC=85°C | 240 A - Continuous DC-equivalent conduction current per arm, determining steady-state power handling in rectifier bridges |
| ITRMSM | 700 A - RMS current rating, used for thermal design under sinusoidal or rectangular load waveforms |
| (dvD/dt)cr | 1000 V/µs - Critical rate-of-rise of off-state voltage, specifying snubber requirements to prevent false turn-on |
| RthJC (per module) | 0.0373 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance under DC conditions, enabling heatsink sizing for forced-air cooling |
| vT max @ iT=1200 A | 3.43 V - Maximum on-state voltage drop, directly impacting conduction loss (PTAV ≈ vT × ITAV) |

Pinout & Package
TD240N32KOFHPSA1 is housed in a press-pack module package with isolated terminals and AlN ceramic baseplate. Mechanical mounting uses M2 screws (12 Nm torque); electrical terminals conform to DIN 46244 A (2.8 × 0.8 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, K1 | Anode 1 / Cathode 1 | Thyristor arm 1 main terminals - carry full load current in one half-bridge leg of B6 configuration |
| A2, K2 | Anode 2 / Cathode 2 | Thyristor arm 2 main terminals - complete second half-bridge leg for full six-pulse operation |
| G1, K1 | Gate 1 / Cathode 1 | Gate control input for arm 1 - referenced to its cathode; requires isolated gate drive due to floating potential |
| G2, K2 | Gate 2 / Cathode 2 | Gate control input for arm 2 - independently referenced to cathode 2, enabling phase-shifted firing |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT240N32KOFHPSA1 | Same package and electrical ratings; differs only in prefix (TT vs TD), indicating identical die and construction per Infineon documentation | No functional difference; both qualified for B6 bridge use with same thermal and gate drive specs | Select TT240N32KOFHPSA1 only if legacy BOM specifies TT prefix; otherwise TD variant is current production part |
| TD240N36KOFHPSA1 | Higher VDRM/VRRM (3600 V); identical ITAVM, ITRMSM, and thermal parameters | Suitable for 3.6 kV AC systems or designs requiring margin against transient overvoltage | Choose when operating in environments with elevated line surges or where future voltage-class upgrade is anticipated |
Compared with TT240N32KOFHPSA1, TD240N32KOFHPSA1 offers identical performance but reflects updated manufacturing traceability; versus TD240N36KOFHPSA1, it trades 400 V blocking margin for tighter cost and footprint control in 3.2 kV-rated installations.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum allowable case temperature (TC op) is +125°C, verified per datasheet section "Thermische Eigenschaften". Operation above this limit risks irreversible degradation of the AlN isolation and silicon die. Thermal design must ensure TC remains ≤125°C under worst-case ambient and load conditions, using the provided RthJC and RthCH values.
Does TD240N32KOFHPSA1 require an external snubber circuit?
Snubbers are recommended when applied dv/dt exceeds 1000 V/µs - the device's critical (dvD/dt)cr rating. In typical 50/60 Hz B6 rectifiers with standard line reactors, snubbers may be omitted. However, for fast-rising transients (e.g., capacitor-switching events), RC snubbers sized per Infineon Application Note AN2003 are advised to prevent spurious turn-on.
Can TD240N32KOFHPSA1 be used in a single-phase bridge configuration?
Yes - it supports B2 two-pulse bridge operation per datasheet page 8. Each arm handles full load current, so ITAVM remains 240 A per arm. Derating is required: maximum output current drops to ~400 A at TA = 40°C with RthCA = 0.04 °C/W, as shown in the B2 ID vs RthCA graph.
What is the gate drive power requirement for reliable triggering?
Gate drive must deliver ≥1 A peak current with ≤1.5 V forward voltage and minimum 20 µs pulse width (per tgd ≤4.5 µs spec). Total gate energy per pulse is ~15 mJ. Isolated gate drivers with ≥2 W peak output (e.g., Infineon 1ED020I12-F2) meet this requirement while maintaining creepage distance (>19 mm) and insulation integrity.
