Product details
Overview
TZ600N16KOFHPSA1 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 (VRRM), and features pressure-contact silicon die construction with electrically insulated baseplate for thermal and electrical isolation. It is used in soft starters and static power controllers requiring robust surge handling (ITSM = 17,000 A, 10 ms).
For engineers reviewing the TZ600N16KOFHPSA1 datasheet, TZ600N16KOFHPSA1 pinout, TZ600N16KOFHPSA1 application, or TZ600N16KOFHPSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.062 K/W), critical dv/dt rating (1000 V/µs), gate trigger parameters (IGT ≤ 250 mA, VGT ≤ 2.2 V), and RMS on-state current capability (ITRMSM = 1050 A).
Technical Context
This thyristor module operates as a bidirectional, gate-controlled AC switch with symmetrical forward/reverse blocking capability up to 1600 V. Its pressure-contact die assembly enables high-current conduction (600 A avg.) and low on-state voltage drop (VT0 = 0.9 V, rT = 0.27 mΩ) while maintaining thermal stability under transient loads.
The device supports phase-angle control via precise gate triggering (tgd ≤ 4 µs) and withstands high di/dt (200 A/µs) and dv/dt (1000 V/µs) stresses. Its insulated baseplate allows direct mounting to heatsinks without additional isolation hardware, and its 50 mm baseplate conforms to industrial standard mechanical interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM / VDRM | 1600 V - Maximum repetitive peak reverse/forward blocking voltage; defines maximum AC line voltage it can safely interrupt. |
| ITAVM | 600 A @ TC = 85°C - Continuous average on-state current per arm; determines steady-state power handling in phase-controlled rectifiers. |
| ITSM | 17,000 A @ tP = 10 ms - Non-repetitive surge current rating; supports short-circuit protection in crowbar and bypass applications. |
| RthJC | 0.062 K/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink for high-power operation. |
| (dvD/dt)cr | 1000 V/µs - Critical rate of rise of off-state voltage; ensures reliable blocking during fast transients in inductive loads. |
| VTO / rT | 0.9 V / 0.27 mΩ - Threshold voltage and slope resistance; defines conduction loss profile and forward voltage drop at rated current. |
| IGT / VGT | ≤250 mA / ≤2.2 V - Maximum gate trigger current/voltage required at 25°C; sets minimum driver strength needed for reliable turn-on. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Main current terminal (high-side) | Carries full load current into the thyristor arm; must be connected to AC line or DC bus with low-inductance path. |
| Cathode (K) | Main current terminal (low-side) | Completes main conduction path; paired with Anode for bidirectional AC switching or unidirectional rectification. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Triggers conduction when pulsed with ≥1 A peak current; requires isolated gate driver due to floating potential in series-connected configurations. |
| Baseplate | Thermal & electrical reference | Electrically insulated (3.6 kV RMS, 1 sec test), serves as primary thermal interface to heatsink; no electrical connection required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pressure-contact die technology | Eliminates wire bonds and solder layers, enabling higher current density, improved thermal cycling reliability, and reduced contact resistance over time. |
| Electrically insulated baseplate | AlN ceramic substrate provides 3.6 kV RMS isolation, allowing direct heatsink mounting without insulating pads or thermal interface materials. |
| High dv/dt immunity | 1000 V/µs critical rate-of-rise ensures stable blocking during fast voltage transients common in motor drives and UPS systems. |
| Low conduction loss | 0.9 V threshold voltage and 0.27 mΩ slope resistance minimize on-state power dissipation at 600 A average load. |
| Robust surge capability | 17,000 A non-repetitive surge current (10 ms) supports crowbar protection and inrush current handling in industrial power converters. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TT600N16KOFHPSA1 | Same package and ratings, but uses thyristor-diac hybrid triggering architecture; slightly higher VGT (2.5 V max) and lower I²t (920,000 A²s). | Better suited for high-noise environments where gate noise immunity is critical; less tolerant of long-duration surges. | Select when gate drive simplicity and EMI resilience outweigh absolute surge margin requirements. |
| TZ600N14KOFHPSA1 | Identical construction and thermal specs, but rated for 1400 V VRRM instead of 1600 V; otherwise identical ITAVM, RthJC, and dv/dt performance. | Valid for 480 VAC and 690 VAC systems with lower peak line voltages; not suitable for 6.6 kV medium-voltage interfaces. | Select for cost-sensitive 400–690 VAC applications where 1400 V blocking suffices and 1600 V margin is unnecessary. |
Compared with TT600N16KOFHPSA1 and TZ600N14KOFHPSA1, TZ600N16KOFHPSA1 offers the highest blocking voltage headroom (1600 V) and largest I²t rating (1,445,000 A²s), making it optimal for medium-voltage industrial drives and critical crowbar functions where overvoltage margin and fault energy absorption are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for TZ600N16KOFHPSA1?
The maximum junction temperature (Tvj max) is 135°C, as specified in the datasheet's thermal properties table. Operation beyond this temperature risks irreversible degradation of the silicon die and pressure-contact interface. Derating curves in the datasheet show that at ITAVM = 600 A, case temperature must remain ≤85°C to maintain safe junction limits under continuous sinusoidal conduction.
Does TZ600N16KOFHPSA1 require forced cooling?
No-natural convection cooling is sufficient for many applications, as confirmed by thermal data showing TC ≤ 85°C at ITAVM = 600 A with natural cooling (KM17 heatsink, 3 modules). However, forced-air cooling (e.g., Papst 4650N fan) extends power handling and reduces thermal impedance (ZthCA), enabling higher transient loads or denser module layouts in compact enclosures.
Can TZ600N16KOFHPSA1 be used in anti-parallel configuration for AC switching?
Yes-its symmetrical VDRM/VRRM ratings (1600 V) and matched forward/reverse characteristics make it suitable for anti-parallel pairing in AC static switches. Each module handles one polarity; gate signals must be isolated and timed to avoid shoot-through. The insulated baseplate simplifies mounting in dual-module arrangements without additional isolation hardware.
What is the gate non-trigger voltage specification, and why does it matter?
VGD max is 0.25 V at Tvj max and vD = 0.5 VDRM. This parameter defines the maximum voltage the gate can tolerate without false triggering under high dv/dt stress. In noisy industrial environments, exceeding this value risks unintended turn-on, so gate wiring must be short, shielded, and routed away from high-di/dt paths to maintain noise immunity.
