ETD580N16P60 Infineon ETD580N16P60 Infineon 1600V 580A Press-Pack Thyristor Module
The ETD580N16P60 is a 1600V, 580A press-pack thyristor module from Infineon’s Eco Block series. It is designed for demanding industrial power systems that require high current capability, strong overload performance, and reliable operation under repeated power cycling conditions. Its pressure-contact construction and short-on-failure behavior make it suitable for rectifiers, inverters, motor drives, UPS equipment, and other high-power conversion systems.
The ETD580N16P60 is a high-power press-pack thyristor module from Infineon, designed for demanding industrial power conversion and control applications. As part of the Eco Block series, this 60 mm module provides a robust and cost-effective solution for systems requiring high voltage capability, high current handling, and reliable operation under dynamic load conditions.
With a 1600 V blocking voltage and a 580 A RMS current rating, the ETD580N16P60 is suitable for high-power rectifier, inverter, motor drive, and UPS applications. Its thyristor/diode configuration supports efficient power control in both single-phase and three-phase systems.
One of the key advantages of this module is its press-pack contact technology, which provides excellent thermal and electrical performance. The device also features short-on-failure behavior, allowing the current path to remain conductive in the event of device failure. This helps improve system safety and makes the module suitable for applications where fault tolerance and continuous current conduction are important.
The ETD580N16P60 is built for long service life and high overload capability. Compared with conventional soldered modules, its press-pack construction can support more power cycling events, helping reduce maintenance requirements and improve reliability in harsh industrial environments. With a maximum junction temperature of 135°C, it is well suited for forced-air or liquid-cooled power assemblies.
