Product details
Overview
TT180N16KOFHPSA2 from Infineon Technologies is a phase-control thyristor module designed for high-power AC line commutation in industrial rectification and motor control. It delivers 180 A average on-state current (ITAVM), 1600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), and 4800 A non-repetitive surge current (ITSM) at 10 ms, operating up to 130 °C junction temperature in B6 six-pulse bridge configurations.
For engineers reviewing the TT180N16KOFHPSA2 datasheet, TT180N16KOFHPSA2 pinout, TT180N16KOFHPSA2 application, or TT180N16KOFHPSA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate trigger current (≤150 mA), critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), thermal resistance (0.096 °C/W junction-to-case per arm), and forced-cooling-compatible mechanical torque specs (6 Nm for M2 terminals).
Technical Context
This dual-thyristor module implements a press-pack silicon pellet design with aluminum nitride (AlN) internal isolation, enabling bidirectional blocking and natural or forced-air cooling in phase-angle controlled rectifiers. Its 180° conduction capability supports full-wave AC power control with precise gate-trigger timing (tgd ≤ 3 µs) and robust commutation turn-off (tq typ. 200 µs).
The module's transient thermal impedance (ZthJC) is characterized by analytical RC networks for both sinusoidal and rectangular current waveforms, supporting accurate loss modeling in 50/60 Hz industrial drives. Its 150 A/µs critical di/dt rating ensures reliable turn-on under high-inductive loads without false triggering.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum allowable case temperature (TC) is not fixed but depends on current load and conduction angle. At ITAVM = 180 A and Θ = 180°, TC must not exceed 85 °C for natural cooling or 130 °C for forced cooling per datasheet Figure 7. Exceeding these limits risks exceeding the 130 °C junction temperature limit.
Can TT180N16KOFHPSA2 be used in anti-parallel configuration for AC output control?
No-TT180N16KOFHPSA2 is a dual-thyristor module with common-cathode topology (A1/K2 and K1/A2), not anti-parallel. It is designed for half-bridge arms in B2/B6 rectifiers. For AC output switching, discrete anti-parallel thyristor pairs or triac modules are required.
What gate drive voltage and current are required for reliable turn-on?
A minimum gate trigger voltage of 2 V and peak current of 150 mA (at 25 °C, vD = 6 V) is required. Gate pulse width must exceed 20 µs, and di/dt ≥ 0.6 A/µs is recommended. The module's 0.25 V VGD max ensures immunity to noise-induced turn-on below this threshold.
Is the 2.5 kV insulation test rating applicable for continuous operation?
No-the 2.5 kV RMS insulation test (1 minute) is a safety qualification test only. Continuous working voltage across the case must remain within the 1600 V VDRM/VRRM rating. The insulation system is rated for reinforced isolation per IEC 61800-5-1, not for sustained high-voltage stress.
