2N5061RLRAG

Overview

The onsemi 2N5061RLRAG is a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) designed for through-hole mounting in a TO-92 package. It features three pins and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +110 °C. The component measures 5.2 x 4.19 x 5.33 mm. This device functions as a latching switch, allowing current flow between the anode and cathode upon application of a gate signal.

Feature Summary

• Provides reliable switching capability for AC and DC control circuits
• Utilizes a standard TO-92 through-hole package for easy integration into printed circuit boards
• Engineered for stable operation across a wide industrial temperature spectrum

Applications

• Lighting control systems requiring phase-angle triggering
• Motor speed regulation circuits using SCR-based controllers
• Thermostat and heating element management modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RLRAG against official datasheets to confirm packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the TO-92 form factor. Confirm that the operating voltage and current ratings meet the design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, single-phase SCR is required for general-purpose switching applications. Consider the TO-92 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and physical space. Evaluate the gate trigger characteristics against the driving circuit capabilities to ensure reliable turn-on under expected load conditions.
