VS-16TTS12SPBF

Scrs Overview

The VS-16TTS12SPBF is a high voltage surface mountable phase control silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) from Vishay Semiconductors. It operates in the TO-263AB (D2PAK) package with three pins: Anode, Cathode, and Gate. The device supports a maximum peak reverse voltage of 1200 V and an average on-state current of 10 A. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum on-state voltage drop of 1.4 V at 10 A, a holding current of 100 mA, and a latching current of 200 mA. It withstands a non-repetitive surge current of 200 A and offers a dV/dt rating of 500 V/μs.

Scrs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging format. The base part number indicates tube packaging, while TRL or TRR suffixes denote tape and reel options. Ensure the selected variant matches the required supply method for the manufacturing process. Confirm lead-free status and compliance certifications are present on the datasheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Scrs Selection Notes

Select this component for medium power applications requiring high voltage blocking capability in a surface mount form factor. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance. Consider the gate triggering characteristics and dI/dt ratings when designing the drive circuitry. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified temperature range for optimal reliability.

Scrs Part Context

This SCR belongs to the VS-16TTS..SPbF series, which includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 800 V and 1200 V. All members share the same physical D2PAK outline and general electrical structure but differ in their breakdown voltage specifications. The series is optimized for phase control and switching duties where compact mounting is necessary.

Scrs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 1200 V rating, 10 A current capacity, and D2PAK footprint. Verify that alternative SCRs meet the same dV/dt and dI/dt specifications to ensure circuit stability. Check if the substitute device requires similar gate drive parameters to function correctly in the existing design.

Scrs FAQ

What is the maximum non-repetitive surge current rating?

The maximum peak one-cycle non-repetitive surge current is 200 A when no voltage is reapplied during the 10 ms sine pulse test.

How does the junction temperature affect the gate trigger current?

The maximum required DC gate current to trigger decreases as temperature increases, ranging from 90 mA at -10 °C to 35 mA at 125 °C.

What is the typical turn-off time specification?

The typical turn-off time (tq) is specified as 110 μs under standard testing conditions.
