S6008LS2TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The S6008LS2TP is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., rated for 600V off-state voltage with 8A RMS on-state current capability. This sensitive gate thyristor is designed for through-hole mounting in TO-220-3 isolated tab package configuration. The device is ROHS3 compliant and currently in active production status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance can be maintained within the specified parameter tolerances while accommodating application requirements for higher current capacity or alternative packaging variants.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The S6010LS2TP qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Off-state voltage: 600V (identical)
• Gate trigger voltage (Vgt): 800 mV maximum (identical)
• Gate trigger current (Igt): 200 µA maximum (identical)
• On-state voltage (Vtm): 1.6V maximum (identical)
• Hold current (Ih): 6 mA maximum (identical)
• Off-state leakage current: 5 µA maximum (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 110°C (identical)
• SCR type: Sensitive Gate (identical)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (identical)
• Package family: TO-220-3 Isolated Tab (identical)
• Compliance: ROHS3, REACH Unaffected (identical)

Differentiation Parameter:

• Current - On State (It RMS) Max: 10A (S6010LS2TP) versus 8A (S6008LS2TP)

The S6010LS2TP provides higher RMS current capacity while maintaining all other electrical and thermal characteristics. This substitution is valid for applications where the 8A rating is not a limiting constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both S6008LS2TP and S6010LS2TP are active production devices with identical ROHS3 and REACH compliance status. Selection between these parts depends on application current requirements:

• S6008LS2TP: Select when application design specifies maximum 8A RMS on-state current and 5.1A average current.
• S6010LS2TP: Select when application requires higher current capacity up to 10A RMS and 6.4A average current, provided circuit design accommodates the increased thermal dissipation.

Both devices maintain identical gate trigger characteristics, on-state voltage drop, hold current, and operating temperature range. The substitution is electrically valid across the full specified parameter set when current capacity is not a design constraint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can S6010LS2TP replace S6008LS2TP in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application circuit does not depend on the 8A current limit as a protective mechanism. The S6010LS2TP maintains all gate trigger, voltage drop, and thermal characteristics while providing higher current capacity.

Q: Are the gate trigger characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both devices specify 800 mV maximum gate trigger voltage and 200 µA maximum gate trigger current, ensuring equivalent gate drive circuit requirements.

Q: Do these parts use the same package footprint?

A: Both use TO-220-3 Isolated Tab through-hole mounting. Physical footprint compatibility is maintained for PCB layout purposes.

Q: What is the primary difference between these SCR models?

A: The S6010LS2TP provides 10A RMS on-state current capacity compared to 8A RMS for the S6008LS2TP. All other electrical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both S6008LS2TP and S6010LS2TP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
