VS-16TTS12STRR-M3

Scrs Overview

The VS-16TTS12STRR-M3 is a high voltage, surface mount phase control silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) from Vishay Semiconductors. It belongs to the VS-16TTS..S-M3 series and utilizes glass passivation technology for reliable operation up to a junction temperature of 125 °C. The device features a D2PAK (TO-263AB) package with a maximum peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1200 V and a maximum average on-state current (IT(AV)) of 10 A at a case temperature of 98 °C. It supports a non-repetitive surge current of 200 A and includes a thermal resistance from junction to case of 1.3 °C/W.

Scrs Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for medium power switching and phase control applications
• Utilizes glass passivation technology for reliable operation up to 125 °C junction temperature
• Meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 with a maximum peak reflow temperature of 245 °C

Scrs Applications

• Input rectification with soft start capabilities
• Phase control circuits in medium power switching systems
• High voltage SCR applications requiring surface mount packaging

Scrs Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix STRR corresponds to the tape and reel packaging variant as specified in the official datasheet. Confirm the specific voltage rating code matches the required application parameters. Ensure compliance with RoHS and halogen-free material categorization standards during procurement. Validate component authenticity through authorized distribution channels.

Scrs Selection Notes

Select this component when a high voltage SCR with a 1200 V rating is required in a surface mount configuration. Consider the 10 A average current capability and the D2PAK package constraints for thermal management. Evaluate the gate triggering requirements against the available drive circuitry. Compare thermal resistance characteristics with alternative packages if heatsinking options are limited.

Scrs Part Context

This part is part of the VS-16TTS..S-M3 series, which includes variants with different voltage ratings such as the VS-16TTS08S-M3 (800 V). The series shares identical package outlines and general structural characteristics while differing in their maximum peak reverse voltage specifications. The STRR suffix indicates a specific reel orientation for automated assembly processes.

Scrs Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the VS-16TTS08S-M3 for lower voltage applications. Other Vishay thyristors in the D2PAK package may serve as alternatives if electrical parameters align. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substituting.
