This document is a technical datasheet for the ABB 5STP42U6500 Phase Control Thyristor. It highlights patented free-floating silicon technology designed for traction, energy, and industrial applications with low on-state and switching losses.
The datasheet provides comprehensive maximum rated values and characteristic parameters including blocking voltages up to 6500 V, average on-state currents of 4250 A, and critical rates of rise. It also includes mechanical data such as mounting force requirements and thermal resistance specifications for various cooling configurations.
| Max surge peak forward and reverse blocking voltage | 6500 V |
|---|---|
| Max repetitive peak forward and reverse blocking voltage | 6500 V |
| Average on-state current | 4250 A |
| RMS on-state current | 6680 A |
| Peak non-repetitive surge current | 86·103 A |
| Thermal resistance junction to case (Double-side cooled) | 4 K/kW |
The recommended mounting force is between 120 and 160 kN. Lower forces increase thermal resistance.
The critical rate of rise of commutating voltage (dv/dtcrit) is 2000 V/µs.
The peak forward gate current (IFGM) must not exceed 10 A.
