SV6016L2QTP

Overview

The Littelfuse SV6016L2QTP is a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) from the SVxx16xxQ series, designed for high junction temperature applications. It features a TO-220AB through-hole package with three pins. Key electrical parameters include a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and an average on-state current of 16 A. The device supports a non-repetitive surge current of 225 A at 50/60 Hz. Gate triggering characteristics specify a maximum gate trigger current of 10 mA and a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.5 V. The on-state voltage drop is limited to 1.6 V, while the holding current reaches a maximum of 35 mA. The leakage current is capped at 10 µA. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• High junction temperature capability for robust thermal performance
• Sensitive gate design for efficient triggering control
• Through-hole mounting for secure mechanical installation

Applications

• Industrial power control systems
• AC motor speed drives
• Lighting dimmer circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L2' against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm exact gate sensitivity and thermal ratings, as variations within the SVxx16xxQ family may exist. Ensure the procurement source provides the original manufacturer datasheet rather than distributor summaries to validate RoHS compliance and automotive qualification status. Cross-reference the part number with Littelfuse's official ordering guide to prevent substitution errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 A SCR with 600 V blocking voltage is required in a TO-220AB package. The sensitive gate specification simplifies drive circuit design by reducing required gate current. Verify that the application's thermal management can support the 150°C maximum junction temperature limit. Confirm that the 225 A surge rating exceeds the system's peak inrush current requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SVxx16xxQ series of 16 Amp High Junction Temperature SCRs manufactured by Littelfuse. The series is engineered for reliability in demanding environments. The SV6016L2QTP shares the core 16 A and 600 V specifications with other variants in the family, differing primarily in gate sensitivity and specific packaging or qualification details defined by the suffix.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 16 A current, 600 V voltage, and TO-220AB package. Check Littelfuse cross-reference guides for equivalent parts within the SV series. Other manufacturers offering 16 A/600 V SCRs in TO-220 packages require verification of gate trigger parameters and thermal resistance values.
