S6016RTP

Overview

The Littelfuse S6016RTP is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) designed for high-temperature phase control applications. It features a 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage and an RMS on-state current rating of 16 A. The device utilizes a sensitive gate structure, requiring a maximum gate trigger current of 10 mA at 25°C. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C and is housed in a TO-220AB through-hole package.

Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate structure enabling reliable triggering with low gate current
• High thermal stability supporting operation up to 150°C junction temperature
• Robust construction suitable for demanding phase control environments

Applications

• Phase control circuits for heating systems
• Motor speed control applications
• Capacitive discharge ignition systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging variations. Ensure the component matches the required thermal management specifications for the target application environment before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 A SCR with sensitive gate characteristics is required for high-temperature operation. Compare the 600 V blocking capability and TO-220AB package constraints against circuit requirements to ensure compatibility with existing heat sinking solutions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Littelfuse Sxx16x series of standard SCRs. These devices are engineered as unidirectional switches for power control, offering internal isolation options in certain variants within the broader family for enhanced safety in industrial settings.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with SV6016R2QTP or SV6016L1QTP for similar 16 A, 600 V SCR specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substituting in existing designs.
