S6006RTP

Overview

The S6006RTP is a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for non-isolated applications. It features a standard recovery characteristic and is housed in a TO-220AB-R through-hole package. The device supports an off-state voltage of 600 V and a forward current rating of 6 A. Key electrical parameters include a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.5 V, ensuring reliable triggering within specified limits. This component is classified under the Thyristors family and is currently listed as an active part.

Feature Summary

• Standard recovery performance for efficient switching operations
• Non-isolated construction suitable for direct circuit integration
• Through-hole mounting via TO-220AB-R package for mechanical stability

Applications

• Phase control circuits
• Heating system regulation
• Motor speed control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RTP' corresponds to the required tube packaging configuration when placing orders. Confirm that the TO-220AB-R lead frame dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Ensure the 600V voltage rating aligns with the peak inverse voltage requirements of the application circuit. Cross-reference the gate trigger specifications against the driving circuit capabilities to guarantee proper turn-on behavior.

Selection Notes

Select this component for uni-directional switching tasks requiring robust thermal handling in through-hole designs. Consider the 6A current capacity relative to the expected load and ambient temperature conditions. Evaluate the need for standard recovery characteristics versus faster alternatives if high-frequency operation is involved. Verify compatibility with existing phase-control or heating control architectures before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This SCR belongs to the broader Sxx06x series from Littelfuse, which targets general-purpose power control applications. The series is engineered for reliability in industrial and consumer electronics environments. As a non-isolated thyristor, it serves as a fundamental building block for AC power management systems where simple, cost-effective switching is prioritized over galvanic isolation.

Replacement Considerations

Potential substitutes include S6008RTP, TYN606RG, TYN610RG, and TXN612RG. These parts offer matching electrical and mechanical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution to ensure seamless integration into existing assemblies without redesigning the cooling infrastructure.
