S6006LS3TP

Overview

The S6006LS3TP is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) manufactured by Littelfuse, rated for a maximum repetitive off-state voltage of 600 V and an RMS on-state current of 6 A. It utilizes a TO-220AB flange mount package with three terminals and isolated case connection. The device features a sensitive gate requiring a maximum DC gate trigger current of 0.5 mA and a maximum DC gate trigger voltage of 0.8 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum holding current of 8 mA, a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 100 A, and a maximum leakage current of 0.25 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +110 °C.

Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate architecture enables direct interfacing with microprocessors using minimal gate drive current.
• Isolated flange mount construction facilitates efficient thermal management and secure mounting.
• Robust surge capability supports handling high transient currents during switching events.

Applications

• Solid state relays
• Industrial motor controls
• Power supply circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Littelfuse documentation to ensure correct package type and compliance status. Confirm that the TO-220AB flange mount variant matches the mechanical requirements of the target assembly. Cross-reference the RoHS and UL recognition markings with the latest datasheet revisions to guarantee regulatory adherence before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking voltage and 6 A continuous current rating are required in a standard through-hole configuration. The sensitive gate characteristic makes it suitable for low-power control logic applications. Ensure the thermal design accommodates the TO-220AB package constraints and that the operating junction temperature remains within the specified -40 °C to +110 °C range for reliable performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Littelfuse Sxx08xSx series of silicon-controlled rectifiers designed for general-purpose switching applications. The S6006LS3TP specifically denotes the 6 Ampere, 600 Volt variant within this family. It shares common characteristics with other devices in the series, such as sensitive gate triggering and robust surge handling capabilities, tailored for industrial and consumer electronic control systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 6A 600V SCRs in TO-220AB packages from Littelfuse or other manufacturers, provided they match the sensitive gate specifications and thermal characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and hold current ratings before implementation.
