Product details
Overview
TT61N12KOFKHPSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a phase-control thyristor module rated for 1200 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), 120 A RMS on-state current (ITRMSM), and 60 A average on-state current at TC = 85°C (ITAVM). It features a 150 A/µs critical rate of rise of on-state current (diT/dt)cr and 1000 V/µs critical off-state voltage rise rate (dvD/dt)cr, designed for industrial AC power control in medium-power motor drives and heating systems.
For engineers reviewing the TT61N12KOFKHPSA1 datasheet, TT61N12KOFKHPSA1 pinout, TT61N12KOFKHPSA1 application, or TT61N12KOFKHPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 125°C maximum junction temperature, 0.26 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance per module, UL E83336 listing, pressure-contact Si-pellet construction, and compatibility with forced-air-cooled KM14 heatsinks in B6 six-pulse bridge configurations.
Technical Context
This thyristor module implements a dual-arm, anti-parallel configuration for full-wave AC phase control. Its gate trigger current (IGT ≤ 120 mA) and voltage (VGT ≤ 1.4 V) are specified at 25°C with 6 V anode-cathode voltage, supporting standard pulse-triggered firing circuits. The 120 µs typical circuit-commutated turn-off time (tq) enables operation up to 50 Hz line frequency with adequate commutation margin.
Thermal performance is defined by analytical transient impedance models (ZthJC, ZthCA) for both sinusoidal and rectangular conduction angles (0°–180°). Natural cooling supports up to 76 A ITAVM at Θ = 180°, while forced cooling with Papst 4650N fans extends capability to 120 A RMS under identical conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM / VRRM | 1200 V - Maximum repetitive blocking voltage in forward/reverse direction, defining AC mains isolation rating for 690 VAC systems. |
| ITRMSM | 120 A - Continuous RMS current handling per arm, determining heat sink sizing for steady-state conduction losses. |
| ITAVM | 60 A @ TC = 85°C - Average on-state current limit under DC or full-conduction conditions, used for thermal design at rated case temperature. |
| (diT/dt)cr | 150 A/µs - Minimum required commutation di/dt to avoid false turn-on during high dv/dt transients. |
| (dvD/dt)cr | 1000 V/µs - Critical off-state voltage rise rate threshold; exceeding this risks spurious triggering without gate signal. |
| RthJC | 0.26 °C/W per module - Junction-to-case thermal resistance under DC conduction, essential for calculating die temperature rise. |
| tq | 120 µs typ. - Circuit-commutated turn-off time at Tvj max, setting minimum commutation interval in phase-controlled rectifiers. |
Pinout & Package
TT61N12KOFKHPSA1 uses a press-pack module package with isolated AlN ceramic baseplate, rated for 3.0 kV insulation test voltage (1 sec, 50 Hz). Mechanical mounting uses M1 screws (4 Nm ±15%) and M2 terminals (4 Nm ±10%). Control terminals conform to DIN 46244 A (2.8 × 0.8 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 / K2 | Anode 1 / Cathode 2 | Main terminals of first thyristor arm; connected in anti-parallel with A2/K1 for full-wave AC switching. |
| A2 / K1 | Anode 2 / Cathode 1 | Main terminals of second thyristor arm; forms complementary path for bidirectional current flow in B2/B6 bridges. |
| G1 / K1 | Gate 1 / Cathode 1 | Control input for first thyristor; referenced to its cathode (K1); requires ≥1 A pulse for reliable latching (IL = 620 mA). |
| G2 / K2 | Gate 2 / Cathode 2 | Control input for second thyristor; referenced to its cathode (K2); independent triggering enables asymmetrical phase control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pressure-contact Si-pellet | Enables high-current density and low contact resistance without wire bonds; supports >1550 A non-repetitive surge (ITSM). |
| AlN internal isolation | Provides 3.0 kV RMS insulation strength and superior thermal conductivity vs. alumina, reducing RthCH to 0.08 °C/W per module. |
| UL E83336 listed | Confirms compliance with UL 1557 for solid-state relays and power controllers, enabling direct use in certified industrial equipment. |
| Transient thermal modeling | Supplied ZthJC/ZthCA analytical functions allow precise junction temperature prediction under arbitrary load profiles (sinusoidal/rectangular, variable Θ). |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT61N12KOFPKPSA1 | Identical electrical specs but uses plastic housing instead of metal baseplate; RthJC = 0.30 °C/W (vs. 0.26 °C/W). | Limited to natural convection or low-power forced cooling; unsuitable for >90 A RMS sustained loads. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance; verify heatsink derating per ZthCA curves. |
| TT100N12KOFKHPSA1 | Higher 100 A ITAVM rating (TC = 85°C); same VDRM, RthJC = 0.20 °C/W; larger footprint and weight (220 g). | Supports higher continuous power in same thermal environment; requires revised mechanical layout and mounting torque (5.5 Nm). | Choose for future-proofing or margin expansion in new designs where space allows. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum allowable case temperature (TC op) is +125°C, with storage temperature ranging from –40°C to +130°C. Operation above 125°C risks irreversible degradation of the AlN isolation layer and silicon die, and must be avoided even momentarily without derating.
Can TT61N12KOFKHPSA1 be used in single-phase applications?
Yes - it supports single-phase B2 two-pulse bridge configurations, delivering up to 120 A RMS output. Gate drive must be isolated per arm (G1/K1 and G2/K2), and heatsinking must account for asymmetric conduction angles per half-cycle.
What gate drive requirements ensure reliable turn-on?
Reliable latching requires ≥1 A peak gate current (iGM), ≥620 mA latching current (IL), and ≥1 A/µs diG/dt. Pulse width must exceed 20 µs, and gate voltage must reach ≥1.4 V (VGT max) at 6 V anode-cathode bias, per DIN IEC 747-6.
How does the pressure-contact construction affect long-term reliability?
Pressure-contact construction eliminates bond wires and solder joints, eliminating common failure modes like wire fatigue and intermetallic growth. Combined with AlN isolation and 125°C Tvj max, it enables >100,000 operating hours in continuous industrial duty cycles.
