S8006L

Overview

The S8006L is a standard recovery silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. It features an 800 V repetitive peak off-state voltage and a 6 A average on-state current rating. The device utilizes a TO-220 isolated tab package for through-hole mounting, providing electrical isolation between the terminal and the heatsink. This component serves as a half-wave, unidirectional, gate-controlled rectifier designed for phase control applications.

Feature Summary

• Standard recovery characteristics for reliable switching performance
• Electrically isolated package design for safe heatsink mounting
• Unidirectional gate-controlled rectification capability

Applications

• Phase control circuits
• Heating control systems
• Motor speed controls

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and packaging quantity. Confirm RoHS compliance status with the manufacturer or distributor prior to procurement. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal and electrical specifications for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V blocking voltage and 6 A continuous current capacity are required in a through-hole configuration. The isolated tab feature is critical for applications requiring galvanic isolation between the power circuit and the mounting hardware. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements based on the TO-220 package limitations.

Part Context

The S8006L belongs to the Teccor line of thyristor SCRs from Littelfuse. These devices are characterized as half-wave, unidirectional, gate-controlled rectifiers. They complement the manufacturer's sensitive gate SCR offerings within the broader power control portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Check for alternative part numbers such as S8006LTP if tube packaging is preferred over bulk. Verify equivalent voltage and current ratings from other manufacturers before substitution.
