S6010LTP

Overview

The S6010LTP is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) from the Littelfuse Teccor Sxx10xSx series, designed for phase control and general switching applications. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V and an RMS on-state current (It RMS) of 10 A. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +110°C and utilizes a TO-220L package with an isolated flange mount configuration. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum gate trigger voltage (Vgt) of 800 mV, a gate trigger current (Igt) of 500 uA, and a holding current (Ih) of 8 mA. The forward voltage drop (Vf) is specified at 1.6 V, with a non-repetitive peak on-state current capability of 100 A.

Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate architecture enabling reliable triggering with microampere-level currents from sense coils or microprocessors.
• Robust thermal management via an isolated flange mount design suitable for high-power dissipation scenarios.
• High surge current handling capacity supporting demanding industrial switching loads.

Applications

• Phase control circuits for AC power regulation
• General purpose switching in heating systems
• Motor speed control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm pinout and package variations. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal interface materials due to the isolated flange requirement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm availability and lead times for the TO-220L variant.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V, 10 A SCR is required for sensitive gate triggering applications. Compare the 500 uA gate trigger current against standard SCRs if low-power drive signals are available. Consider the TO-220L package dimensions for PCB layout and heatsinking constraints relative to the 10 A RMS current rating.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Teccor Sxx10xSx family of thyristors, which are widely recognized for their reliability in consumer and industrial electronics. The S6010LTP specifically addresses the need for high-current switching with low-gate drive requirements, distinguishing it from standard phase control SCRs that require higher gate currents.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 600 V, 10 A sensitive gate SCRs in TO-220 packages from manufacturers such as STMicroelectronics or Vishay. Verify equivalent VDRM, It RMS, and Igt specifications before substitution to ensure circuit performance remains within safe operating limits.
