S6006RTP SCR 600V 6A TO220AB-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The S6006RTP is a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., rated for 600V off-state voltage and 6A RMS on-state current. This thyristor operates as a standard recovery device in the TO-220-3 package and is actively produced. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical characteristics and mechanical compatibility within the 600V SCR product family.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the S6006RTP is determined by the following criteria:

Off-state voltage rating: All substitutes maintain 600V blocking capability
On-state current rating: Substitutes range from 6A to 12A RMS, providing equal or higher current capacity
Gate trigger parameters: Vgt and Igt remain constant across all parts (1.5V max, 15mA max)
On-state voltage drop: Vtm held at 1.6V maximum across all substitutes
Hold current: Ih maintained at 30mA maximum
Package compatibility: All substitutes use TO-220-3 package with through-hole mounting
Operating temperature range: Consistent -40°C to 125°C across all parts
Compliance: All parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected

Parts with higher current ratings (S6008RTP, TYN610RG, TXN612RG) are direct substitutes where increased current capacity is acceptable. The TYN606RG provides identical electrical specifications with alternative manufacturer sourcing.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between substitutes depends on application current requirements:

S6006RTP and TYN606RG: Identical 6A RMS ratings; TYN606RG provides alternative manufacturer sourcing from STMicroelectronics
S6008RTP: 8A RMS rating; suitable where 6A capacity is insufficient but 10A exceeds requirements
TYN610RG: 10A RMS rating; accommodates higher current applications within 600V blocking specification
TXN612RG: 12A RMS rating; maximum current capacity among substitutes; non-repetitive surge rating of 120A/125A

All parts share identical gate trigger characteristics, on-state voltage drop, and hold current specifications. Package footprint compatibility is maintained across all TO-220-3 configurations. Temperature operating range and compliance certifications are uniform.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can S6008RTP, TYN610RG, or TXN612RG be used as direct replacements for S6006RTP?

A: Yes. These parts maintain all critical electrical parameters (600V blocking voltage, gate trigger voltage and current, on-state voltage drop, hold current) and package compatibility. Higher current ratings do not prevent substitution in applications designed for 6A operation.

Q: What is the difference between S6006RTP and TYN606RG?

A: Both parts have identical electrical specifications (600V, 6A RMS, 1.5V gate trigger, 1.6V on-state voltage). The primary difference is manufacturer: S6006RTP is Littelfuse Inc., while TYN606RG is STMicroelectronics. Both are ROHS3 compliant and use TO-220-3 packaging.

Q: Are there differences in non-repetitive surge current ratings?

A: Yes. S6006RTP and TYN606RG are rated 83A/100A (50/60Hz). TYN610RG is rated 100A/105A. TXN612RG is rated 120A/125A. These differences reflect the higher current capacity of each device but do not affect substitution in standard applications.

Q: Is the TO-220AB-R package compatible with TO-220 package specifications?

A: Yes. TO-220AB-R and TO-220 are mechanically and electrically compatible through-hole packages. All listed substitutes use TO-220-3 configuration with identical pin assignments and thermal characteristics.

Q: Do all substitutes operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. All parts operate from -40°C to 125°C. Operating temperature range is uniform across S6006RTP, S6008RTP, TYN606RG, TYN610RG, and TXN612RG.
