Product details
Overview
TT251N14KOFHPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a phase-control thyristor module designed for high-power AC line switching and rectification in industrial drive systems. It features 1400 V VDRM/VRRM, 250 A ITAVM (at TC = 85 °C), 9100 A ITSM surge current, 0.8 V VT0 threshold voltage, and 0.124 K/W RthJC thermal resistance - enabling robust operation in soft starters and static power controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TT251N14KOFHPSA1 datasheet, TT251N14KOFHPSA1 pinout, TT251N14KOFHPSA1 application, or TT251N14KOFHPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak blocking voltage (1400 V), RMS on-state current capability (410 A), gate trigger sensitivity (IGT ≤ 200 mA), transient thermal impedance behavior, and pressure-contact construction for high-cycle reliability under forced-air or liquid-cooled heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This dual-thyristor, press-pack module implements line-synchronized phase-angle control in bidirectional AC power paths. Its 125 °C maximum junction temperature, 250 A average on-state current rating at 85 °C case temperature, and 250 µs typical turn-off time (tq) support controlled conduction angles from 30° to 180° in rectifier and crowbar topologies.
The device uses silicon pellets with pressure-contact metallization and AlN-based internal insulation (Class I, EN61140), delivering 3.0 kV RMS insulation test voltage and 17 mm creepage distance. Gate triggering requires ≤2.0 V VGT and ≤200 mA IGT under standard 12 V anode-cathode bias conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM / VRRM | 1400 V - Maximum repetitive peak forward/reverse blocking voltage; defines safe AC line voltage rating in 600–700 VAC systems with margin. |
| ITAVM | 250 A at TC = 85 °C - Continuous DC-equivalent current per arm; determines heatsink sizing for steady-state conduction. |
| ITSM | 9100 A (10 ms, Tvj = 25 °C) - Non-repetitive surge current handling; supports short-circuit protection coordination in motor drives. |
| VT0 / rT | 0.8 V / 0.7 mΩ - Threshold voltage and slope resistance; sets conduction loss profile (PTAV ≈ 0.8·I + 0.0007·I²) at rated current. |
| RthJC | 0.124 K/W per module - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables thermal modeling when mounted to actively cooled baseplate. |
| (diT/dt)cr | 250 A/µs - Minimum required commutation di/dt to avoid false turn-on; dictates snubber design in inductive load switching. |
| VISOL | 3.0 kV RMS (1 min) - Basic insulation withstand voltage; certifies isolation integrity between power terminals and baseplate. |
Pinout & Package
TT251N14KOFHPSA1 is housed in an industrial-standard press-pack module with electrically insulated baseplate (AlN ceramic), 50 mm × 50 mm footprint, and M1 mechanical mounting (5 Nm torque). Terminals are arranged for dual-thyristor half-bridge configuration: two main AC terminals (A1/K2 and A2/K1), two isolated gate control terminals (G1, G2), and baseplate (isolated, thermally conductive).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 / K2 | Anode of Thyristor 1 / Cathode of Thyristor 2 | Common AC line terminal for B2/B6 bridge input; carries full load current in single-phase or three-phase rectifier configurations. |
| A2 / K1 | Anode of Thyristor 2 / Cathode of Thyristor 1 | Complementary AC line terminal; forms anti-parallel pair enabling bidirectional conduction in AC phase control. |
| G1 | Gate of Thyristor 1 | Isolated low-energy trigger input (≤200 mA, ≤2.0 V); requires separate gate driver referenced to K1 potential. |
| G2 | Gate of Thyristor 2 | Isolated low-energy trigger input (≤200 mA, ≤2.0 V); requires separate gate driver referenced to K2 potential. |
| Baseplate | Thermal interface & electrical isolation barrier | Electrically isolated (3.0 kV RMS) copper base with AlN dielectric; serves as primary heat path to external heatsink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pressure contact technology | Eliminates wire bonds and solder joints - ensures stable contact resistance and >10⁶ thermal cycles under 125 °C junction operation. |
| Electrically insulated baseplate | AlN ceramic (Class I insulation) provides 3.0 kV RMS isolation and 17 mm creepage - enables direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without additional insulation. |
| High di/dt immunity | 250 A/µs critical rate-of-rise prevents spurious turn-on during fast transients in motor drive commutation circuits. |
| Low thermal resistance | 0.124 K/W RthJC enables >250 A continuous operation with <50 K temperature rise across standard 50 mm baseplate heatsinks. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT251N16KOFHPSA1 | Higher VDRM/VRRM (1600 V) and RthJC (0.130 K/W); identical ITAVM (250 A) and package. | Better suited for 690 VAC systems or higher-altitude installations requiring increased voltage margin. | Select when system peak line voltage exceeds 1000 V or long-term derating below 85 °C case is required. |
| TD251N14KOFHPSA1 | Single-thyristor variant (not dual); same VDRM (1400 V), ITAVM (250 A), and thermal specs; different terminal layout. | Used in asymmetrical rectifier arms or unidirectional crowbar circuits where only one direction needs control. | Choose for cost-sensitive single-switch applications or when gate drive isolation simplification is prioritized over bidirectional control. |
Compared with TT251N14KOFHPSA1, the TT251N16KOFHPSA1 offers higher voltage headroom but slightly reduced thermal efficiency, while the TD251N14KOFHPSA1 trades dual-arm flexibility for simpler gate drive and lower component count in unidirectional designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The TT251N14KOFHPSA1 supports continuous operation up to 85 °C case temperature (TC) at its rated 250 A ITAVM. Its maximum junction temperature is 125 °C, and thermal modeling must account for RthJC = 0.124 K/W plus external heatsink resistance to ensure Tvj stays within limit under worst-case load and ambient conditions.
Does this module require forced cooling?
Forced cooling (air or liquid) is strongly recommended above ~150 A ITAVM. At 250 A, natural convection is insufficient; the datasheet specifies thermal derating curves showing TC must be held ≤85 °C using a heatsink with RthCH ≤ 0.04 K/W per arm and adequate airflow or coolant flow to maintain junction temperature below 125 °C.
Can TT251N14KOFHPSA1 be used in three-phase six-pulse rectifier circuits?
Yes - two TT251N14KOFHPSA1 modules (each providing one complementary thyristor pair) can configure a full B6 six-pulse bridge. The module's 1400 V VDRM, 250 A ITAVM per arm, and 250 µs tq meet standard IEC 60747 requirements for such topologies operating up to 480 VAC line-to-line with 120° conduction.
What gate drive voltage and current are required for reliable triggering?
Reliable turn-on requires ≤2.0 V gate trigger voltage (VGT) and ≤200 mA gate trigger current (IGT) at 12 V anode-cathode bias and 25 °C. Gate pulses must exceed 20 µs duration and deliver ≥1 A peak current for latching; gate non-trigger thresholds (VGD ≤ 0.2 V, IGD ≤ 5 mA) ensure noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
