S6010RS2TP

Overview

The Littelfuse S6010RS2TP is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) from the Teccor Sxx10xSx series, designed for phase control and general switching applications. It features a 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) and an RMS on-state current rating of 10 A. The device utilizes a sensitive gate architecture, requiring a maximum gate trigger current of 200 µA and a gate trigger voltage of 800 mV for activation. It is housed in a TO-220AB flange mount package with three terminals, where the case serves as the anode. The component operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +100 °C and exhibits a low holding current of 6 mA.

Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate design enabling reliable triggering with microampere-level currents from sense coils or microprocessors.
• Robust thermal management via a metal-flange mounting style suitable for high-power dissipation scenarios.
• High surge current capability supporting transient load conditions in motor speed and heating controls.

Applications

• Phase control circuits for AC power regulation
• Heating element control systems
• Motor speed control drives

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TP' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging details and compliance status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required TO-220AB flange mount configuration. Cross-reference electrical parameters such as gate sensitivity and voltage ratings with the latest Littelfuse documentation before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 A RMS SCR with sensitive gate characteristics is required for 600 V applications. The TO-220AB package facilitates direct heatsink mounting for efficient thermal transfer. Compare gate trigger specifications against the driving circuit capabilities to ensure adequate sensitivity margins for reliable turn-on under varying temperature conditions.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Littelfuse Teccor Sxx10xSx family of thyristors. This series provides unidirectional switching solutions optimized for industrial and consumer electronics. The S6010 variant specifically addresses applications needing moderate current handling with precise gate control, distinguishing it from standard gate SCRs that require higher trigger currents.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 10 A, 600 V sensitive gate SCRs in TO-220 packages from Littelfuse, such as the S6010VS2. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when considering alternative manufacturers' equivalents to maintain circuit performance integrity.
