T3160N16TOFVTXPSA1

Overview

The Infineon T3160N16TOFVTXPSA1 is a Phase Control Thyristor (PCT) with a 1600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and an average on-state current of 3160 A. It utilizes a bolted mounting configuration within the BG-T4814K0 package, featuring five terminals for electrical connection. The device supports a maximum gate trigger current of 200 mA at a voltage of 2 V, with a holding current of 300 mA. It withstands an 8 kA surge current and operates between -40°C and 125°C junction temperature, maintaining a peak on-state voltage of 1.92 V.

Feature Summary

• High surge current capability for robust fault handling
• Electrically triggered phase control design for precise power regulation
• Bolted mounting structure for secure mechanical integration

Applications

• Industrial motor drives requiring high current capacity
• HVDC transmission systems utilizing phase control thyristors
• Static VAR compensators for grid stability

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix XPSA1 against official Infineon documentation to confirm manufacturing origin and compliance status. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact electrical ratings and package type required for your circuit design. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1600 V rating and 3160 A average current are necessary for high-power applications. The bolted mounting style requires compatible thermal interface materials and clamping hardware. Verify that the gate drive circuit can supply the specified 200 mA trigger current reliably under all operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the T3160N series of high-power phase control thyristors from Infineon Technologies. These devices are engineered for demanding industrial environments where high current density and voltage blocking capabilities are critical. The series represents a standard solution for heavy-duty power conversion infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1600 V, 3160 A, and PCT specifications. Check for equivalent packages like BG-T4814K0. Verify thermal resistance and gate trigger parameters before substitution to ensure circuit compatibility.
