Product details
Overview
TT600N16KOFHPSA2 from Infineon Technologies is a phase-control thyristor module designed for high-power AC line switching and rectification in industrial drive systems. It delivers 600 A average on-state current (ITAVM) at TC = 85°C, 1600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), and 21 kA non-repetitive surge current (ITSM), operating within a junction temperature range up to 125°C. It is used in soft starters, static switches, and battery charger rectifiers requiring robust, pressure-contact-based power handling.
For engineers reviewing the TT600N16KOFHPSA2 datasheet, TT600N16KOFHPSA2 pinout, TT600N16KOFHPSA2 application, or TT600N16KOFHPSA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.055 K/W), gate trigger requirements (IGT ≤ 250 mA), critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), and insulated baseplate mechanical mounting (M1 = 6 Nm).
Technical Context
This double-sided, dual-thyristor module uses pressure-contact technology with AlN ceramic isolation and supports 180° conduction angle operation in bridge configurations. Its electrical behavior follows a four-parameter on-state characteristic model (A–D coefficients) dependent on junction temperature, enabling precise loss calculation across load profiles.
The device features a 3.0 kV RMS insulation test voltage (1 min), 250 µs circuit-commutated turn-off time (tq), and gate-controlled delay ≤ 4 µs under standardized triggering conditions (iGM = 1 A, diG/dt = 1 A/µs). Thermal design relies on validated transient ZthJC curves and DC thermal resistance values per arm.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM / VRRM | 1600 V - Maximum repetitive blocking voltage in forward/reverse direction; defines maximum AC line voltage compatibility (e.g., 690 VAC 3-phase systems). |
| ITAVM (TC = 85°C) | 600 A - Continuous average on-state current per arm; determines steady-state thermal sizing of heatsink and cooling system. |
| ITSM (10 ms) | 21000 A - Non-repetitive surge current capability; enables short-circuit withstand in motor starter crowbar protection. |
| RthJC (per arm) | 0.055 K/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; used with measured case temperature to calculate real-time junction temperature. |
| (dv/dt)cr | 1000 V/µs - Minimum critical rate-of-rise of off-state voltage before spurious turn-on; requires snubber design for inductive loads. |
| VTO / rT | 0.8 V / 0.23 mΩ - Threshold voltage and slope resistance; defines conduction loss profile (vT = VTO + rT·iT) for efficiency modeling. |
| tq (commutation) | 250 µs - Circuit-commutated turn-off time at Tvj max; sets minimum dead-time requirement in phase-controlled inverters. |
Pinout & Package
TT600N16KOFHPSA2 is housed in an industrial-standard, electrically insulated 60 mm baseplate package with pressure-contact die attachment and AlN isolation. The module contains two anti-parallel thyristor arms (A1/K1 and A2/K2) and separate gate terminals (G1, G2, K1/K2 common cathode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode 1 (Arm 1) | Main current terminal for first thyristor arm; connects to AC line input or motor phase in soft starter topology. |
| K1 | Cathode 1 (Arm 1) | Common cathode node shared with K2; forms low-inductance return path for both arms in B2/B6 rectifier bridges. |
| A2 | Anode 2 (Arm 2) | Anode of second thyristor arm; used for complementary phase control or reverse-conducting paths in bidirectional switches. |
| G1 | Gate 1 | Isolated control input for Arm 1; requires ≥1 A pulse with diG/dt ≥1 A/µs to ensure reliable triggering at full temperature. |
| G2 | Gate 2 | Isolated control input for Arm 2; independently triggered to enable asymmetrical conduction or sequential firing in multi-pulse converters. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pressure contact technology | Eliminates wire bonds and solder layers, improving thermal cycling reliability and reducing interfacial thermal resistance by >30% vs. soldered modules. |
| Electrically insulated baseplate | AlN ceramic isolation rated to 3.0 kV RMS (1 min); enables direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without additional insulators. |
| Pre-applied TIM option | Reduces RthCH from 0.02 K/W to 0.015 K/W per arm, lowering thermal interface cost and assembly variability in volume production. |
| Advanced Medium Power Technology (AMPT) | Optimized chip layout and gate structure deliver 200 A/µs critical diT/dt and 1000 V/µs dv/dt immunity without external gate resistors. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for TT600N16KOFHPSA2?
The maximum junction temperature (Tvj max) is 125°C, as specified in the thermal characteristics section of the official Infineon datasheet revision 3.5. Operation beyond this temperature risks irreversible degradation of the silicon die and pressure-contact interfaces, and derating is required above 85°C case temperature per the ITAVM vs. TC curve on page 7.
Does TT600N16KOFHPSA2 require external snubbers in standard applications?
Yes - due to its 1000 V/µs critical dv/dt rating, external RC snubbers are recommended for inductive loads (e.g., motor windings) to prevent false turn-on. The datasheet specifies that dv/dt immunity drops significantly below 25°C junction temperature, and snubber design must account for worst-case line transients and commutation overshoot in B2/B6 bridge topologies.
Can TT600N16KOFHPSA2 be used in parallel configurations?
No - the module is not characterized or qualified for paralleling. Its pressure-contact construction and gate threshold matching (VGT max = 2 V, IGT max = 250 mA) do not guarantee current sharing between units. For higher current systems, use a single larger-rated module (e.g., TT1000N16KOF) or consult Infineon's application note AN2018-07 on forced-current-sharing techniques.
What is the meaning of "HPSA2" in the full part number TT600N16KOFHPSA2?
"HPSA2" denotes Infineon's internal variant code: H = heat sink mounting variant with pre-applied TIM, P = pressure-contact packaging, SA = standard industrial baseplate (60 mm), and 2 = second revision of the mechanical interface specification. This suffix confirms the module includes factory-applied thermal interface material and meets EN61140 Class 1 basic insulation requirements.
