S8006R

Overview

The Littelfuse S8006R is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) rated for 800V off-state voltage and 6A forward current. It utilizes a TO-220 Non-Isolated Tab package with a single element configuration. The device supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to 125°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.5V, a maximum gate trigger current of 15mA, and a maximum on-state voltage of 1.6V. The component is classified as discontinued.

Feature Summary

• Standard recovery thyristor design for power control applications
• Non-isolated tab construction in a TO-220 through-hole package
• High thermal performance capability within specified temperature limits

Applications

• Industrial motor control systems
• Power supply regulation circuits
• General purpose rectification tasks

Procurement Notes

Verify the discontinued status before initiating procurement processes, as availability may be limited to existing stock or third-party distributors. Confirm that the TO-220 Non-Isolated Tab package meets the specific isolation requirements of the target circuit design. Ensure compatibility with the required gate trigger characteristics for reliable switching operation in the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800V blocking voltage and 6A continuous current rating are required for standard recovery applications. The non-isolated tab package necessitates careful thermal management and electrical insulation planning if mounting to a heatsink. Consider the discontinued lifecycle status and evaluate alternative components if long-term supply stability is a critical project requirement.

Part Context

This SCR belongs to the broader category of power semiconductors manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. It serves as a discrete switching element within thyristor families designed for medium-power industrial and commercial electronics. The device functions primarily as a controlled rectifier, enabling precise regulation of AC power flow in various electronic systems requiring robust switching capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation due to the discontinued status. Engineers should consult official Littelfuse replacement guides or equivalent manufacturer datasheets to identify compatible alternatives with matching voltage, current, and package specifications.
