Infineon TD162N16KOF Thyristor Diode Module
Infineon TD162N16KOF Thyristor/Diode Module
The TD162N16KOF is a high-power thyristor/diode module rated for 1600 V and 162 A (at Tc = 85°C). It is commonly used in industrial power electronic systems such as rectifiers, inverters, motor drives, and controlled power supplies. With its pressure-contact technology and compact housing, the module is designed to manage heavy current and voltage stresses in continuous and pulsed operation.
The device offers a low on-state voltage of 1.41 V at 500 A and a slope resistance of 0.95 mΩ, which help reduce conduction losses. It supports surge current handling up to 5200 A at 25°C, making it suitable for applications that must withstand short-term current peaks or transient events. Gate characteristics include a maximum gate trigger current of 150 mA and a maximum holding current of 200 mA, allowing reliable integration into a wide range of control systems.
The TD162N16KOF operates over a case temperature range from −40 °C to +125 °C and has a maximum junction temperature of 125 °C. Its thermal resistance from junction to case is specified at 0.10 °C/W, ensuring efficient heat transfer when properly mounted. The module weighs approximately 310 g and provides a creepage distance of 15 mm, meeting industrial insulation and mounting requirements.
