Product details
Overview
TT425N16KOFXPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a press-pack, double-sided cooled phase-control thyristor module rated for 1600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), 471 A average on-state current at TC = 85 °C, and 14.5 kA non-repetitive surge current (ITSM). It features electrically insulated baseplate, pressure-contact silicon die construction, and is designed for high-reliability industrial power control in soft starters and static switches.
For engineers reviewing the TT425N16KOFXPSA1 datasheet, TT425N16KOFXPSA1 pinout, TT425N16KOFXPSA1 application, or TT425N16KOFXPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.065 K/W per module), critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), gate trigger current (≤250 mA), and crowbar-capable surge handling in UPS rectifier and battery charger systems.
Technical Context
This thyristor module implements a dual-arm, anti-parallel configuration with isolated gate terminals and a ceramic (AlN) insulated baseplate. Its pressure-contact die assembly enables high-current conduction without wire bonds, supporting DC to 50 Hz phase-controlled operation with 250 µs circuit commutated turn-off time (tq) at full-rated current.
The device operates across -40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature range and requires forced-air or liquid-cooled heatsinking due to its 0.065 K/W RthJC and 0.01–0.02 K/W RthCH thermal path. Gate drive must comply with 1.5 V maximum VGT and 250 mA IGT limits under 12 V anode-cathode bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM / VRRM | 1600 V - Maximum repetitive blocking voltage per arm; defines usable AC line voltage headroom in 3-phase 6-pulse rectifiers up to 690 VAC systems. |
| ITAVM (TC = 85 °C) | 471 A - Continuous average forward current per arm; determines steady-state power handling in soft starter duty cycles with 180° conduction angle. |
| ITSM (10 ms) | 14500 A - Non-repetitive surge current capability; enables crowbar protection during short-circuit events in UPS and drive inverters. |
| RthJC | 0.065 K/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance per module; sets minimum heatsink requirement for maintaining Tvj ≤ 125 °C at full load. |
| (dv/dt)cr | 1000 V/µs - Critical rate of rise of off-state voltage; ensures reliable blocking under fast transient overvoltages in motor drive snubber circuits. |
| VTO / rT | 0.9 V / 0.35 mΩ - Threshold voltage and slope resistance; defines on-state conduction loss profile and forward voltage drop at 1500 A. |
| tq | 250 µs - Circuit commutated turn-off time at Tvj max; constrains minimum commutation circuit inductance for reliable forced commutation in static switches. |
Pinout & Package
TT425N16KOFXPSA1 uses a press-pack, double-sided cooled industrial standard package with electrically insulated AlN baseplate (19 mm creepage distance) and M1 (6 Nm) mechanical mounting. Terminal layout follows Infineon's TD/TT series standard: two main AC terminals (A1/K2 and A2/K1), two isolated gate terminals (G1/K1 and G2/K2), and baseplate as cathode reference.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 / K2 | Anode 1 / Cathode 2 | Main current terminal for Arm 1; carries full forward current in half-wave or bridge configurations. |
| A2 / K1 | Anode 2 / Cathode 1 | Main current terminal for Arm 2; forms anti-parallel pair with A1/K2 for bidirectional AC control. |
| G1 | Gate 1 | Isolated gate control input for Arm 1; requires ≤250 mA trigger current and ≤1.5 V trigger voltage at 12 V anode bias. |
| G2 | Gate 2 | Isolated gate control input for Arm 2; galvanically separated from G1 to enable independent phase control per arm. |
| Baseplate | Cathode Reference / Thermal Path | Electrically insulated (3.6 kV RMS, 1 sec) AlN-ceramic surface; serves as primary heat extraction path and system ground reference point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pressure contact die assembly | Eliminates bond wires and solder layers, enabling >10⁶ cycle lifetime under high di/dt and thermal cycling in drive applications. |
| Electrically insulated baseplate (AlN) | Provides 3.6 kV RMS isolation and 19 mm creepage, allowing direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without additional insulation kits. |
| Advanced Medium Power Technology (AMPT) | Optimizes trade-off between conduction loss (0.9 V VTO) and switching robustness (1000 V/µs dv/dt rating) for 400–690 VAC industrial systems. |
| Double-sided cooling interface | Enables thermal resistance reduction by up to 40% vs. single-side cooled modules when used with matched cold plates on both sides. |
| Standard industrial footprint | Compatible with existing mounting hardware and busbar layouts for TD/TT-series replacements in legacy soft starter and rectifier cabinets. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT425N18KOFXPSA1 | Higher VDRM/VRRM (1800 V); identical ITAVM, RthJC, and gate specs. | Better suited for 1000 VAC medium-voltage drives and offshore wind converter interfaces. | Select when system peak line voltage exceeds 720 VAC or transient overvoltage margin must exceed 2000 V. |
| TD425N16KOFXPSA1 | Single-arm configuration; same VDRM, ITAVM, and thermal specs but no anti-parallel pairing. | Used in half-controlled rectifiers and single-quadrant power controllers where bidirectional conduction is unnecessary. | Choose for cost-sensitive, unidirectional applications like heater controls or DC motor field supplies. |
Compared with TT425N16KOFXPSA1, the 1800 V variant extends voltage margin for harsh grid environments, while the TD425N16KOFXPSA1 reduces complexity and cost in unidirectional topologies-both retain identical thermal and gate drive behavior for seamless BOM migration.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum case temperature (TC) is not directly specified, but the device supports continuous operation up to Tvj = 125 °C. Using the RthJC value of 0.065 K/W and ITAVM = 471 A, the corresponding case temperature depends on heatsink design; typical derating curves show TC ≤ 85 °C at full ITAVM for 180° conduction with forced-air cooling.
Can TT425N16KOFXPSA1 be used in a single-phase full-wave rectifier?
Yes - the dual-arm anti-parallel structure allows use in single-phase full-wave rectifiers. Each arm handles one polarity of AC input, delivering full-wave DC output. Gate timing must be synchronized to alternate arms every half-cycle, and snubber networks must be sized for 1600 V blocking and 14.5 kA surge capability.
Is the baseplate electrically isolated from the main terminals?
Yes - the baseplate is electrically insulated using aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic with 3.6 kV RMS isolation (1 second test) and 3.0 kV RMS (1 minute test). This allows direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without external insulation, simplifying thermal design and reducing system EMI.
What gate drive voltage and current are required for reliable triggering?
Reliable triggering requires ≤250 mA gate current (IGT) and ≤1.5 V gate voltage (VGT) at 12 V anode-cathode bias and 25 °C junction temperature. Gate pulse width should exceed 20 µs, and peak gate power must stay within PGM limits (e.g., 100 W for 0.5 ms pulses) to avoid gate damage.
