Product details
Overview
TT170N14KOFHPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a phase-control thyristor module designed for high-power AC line switching and rectification in industrial drive systems. It delivers 170 A average on-state current at 85 °C case temperature, supports 1400 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), and withstands 5200 A non-repetitive surge current. Its pressure-contact construction enables reliable operation in soft starters and static power controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TT170N14KOFHPSA1 datasheet, TT170N14KOFHPSA1 pinout, TT170N14KOFHPSA1 application, or TT170N14KOFHPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.17 K/W), gate trigger current (≤200 mA), on-state voltage (≤1.65 V at 600 A), and electrically insulated baseplate compatibility with industrial heatsink mounting standards.
Technical Context
This dual-thyristor module operates in phase-controlled AC applications where precise conduction-angle regulation determines output power. Its 125 °C maximum junction temperature and 0.17 K/W RthJC enable stable thermal performance under continuous 170 A DC or 350 A RMS load conditions when properly heatsinked.
The device features a 150 A/µs critical di/dt rating and 1000 V/µs critical dv/dt capability, supporting robust commutation in bridge configurations. Its gate control characteristics-defined by VGT ≤ 2.0 V and IGT ≤ 200 mA at 12 V anode-cathode voltage-ensure reliable triggering across industrial temperature ranges (-40 to +125 °C).
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT170N16KOFHPSA1 | Higher VDRM/VRRM (1600 V) and RthJC (0.17 K/W same), identical ITAVM and package. | Better suited for 690 VAC+ systems or higher transient overvoltage environments. | Select when system peak line voltage exceeds 1400 V or long-term reliability under voltage stress is prioritized. |
| TD170N14KOFHPSA1 | Single-thyristor version with same voltage/current ratings but no complementary arm; requires external pairing. | Used in custom asymmetric topologies or where independent arm control is needed. | Choose only when discrete arm control, modular redundancy, or non-bridge configurations are required. |
Compared with TT170N14KOFHPSA1, the TT170N16KOFHPSA1 offers enhanced voltage margin without thermal trade-off, while the TD170N14KOFHPSA1 sacrifices integration for design flexibility-neither is pin-compatible due to differing internal topology and terminal count.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum case temperature (TC) for continuous operation is +125 °C, as defined by the device's thermal derating curves. At this temperature, the module supports 170 A average on-state current per arm. Operation above this limit risks irreversible junction damage and must be avoided even momentarily without active cooling verification.
Does TT170N14KOFHPSA1 require forced air cooling?
No forced air cooling is mandatory if the heatsink thermal resistance (RthCA) is ≤0.15 K/W for 170 A operation at 85 °C case temperature. Natural convection is viable with large finned heatsinks; however, airflow ≥2 m/s reduces required RthCA by ~30%, improving margin for transient loads.
Can this module be used in a single-phase full-wave rectifier?
Yes-it is configured as a dual-thyristor common-cathode pair, making it ideal for single-phase B2 full-wave controlled rectifiers. Terminal A1/K2 and K1/A2 form the two arms, with gates G1/G2 independently controllable to achieve symmetrical or asymmetrical conduction angles.
What gate drive voltage and current are required for reliable triggering?
A minimum gate trigger voltage of 2.0 V and current of 200 mA at 12 V anode-cathode voltage is required for guaranteed turn-on at -40 °C. For robust operation across temperature, gate drivers should deliver ≥3.0 V and ≥300 mA peak pulse current with ≤3 µs delay time to meet tgd specification.
