SJ6016R2TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SJ6016R2TP is a 600V, 16A Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. in a Through Hole TO-220AB package. This Standard Recovery thyristor is designed for general-purpose AC switching and power control applications. The part is currently Active in production status with 1484 pieces in stock inventory. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements allow for higher current ratings, alternative gate sensitivity characteristics, or when primary part availability is constrained.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SJ6016R2TP is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - Off State: 600 V (all substitutes must maintain this rating)
• Package / Case: TO-220-3 (physical and thermal compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (PCB assembly compatibility)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 150°C (thermal envelope)
• Voltage - Gate Trigger (Vgt) (Max): 1.5 V (gate drive circuit compatibility)
• Current - Gate Trigger (Igt) (Max): 10 mA (gate drive circuit compatibility)
• Voltage - On State (Vtm) (Max): 1.6 V (conduction characteristics)
• Current - Hold (Ih) (Max): 35 mA (holding current specification)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current - On State (It (RMS)) (Max): May be equal to or greater than 16 A (uprating acceptable)
• Current - Non Rep. Surge (Itsm): May be equal to or greater than specified values (uprating acceptable)
• SCR Type: Standard Recovery or Sensitive Gate (functional variants acceptable)

All substitute parts listed are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., maintain ROHS3 compliance, and carry Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SJ6020R2TP — Select when application current requirements exceed 16A RMS but do not exceed 20A RMS. This part provides a 25% current uprating while maintaining identical gate trigger characteristics and on-state voltage. Standard Recovery type matches the original design intent. ROHS3 compliance and Active status ensure long-term availability.

SJ6025R2TP — Select when application current requirements exceed 20A RMS but do not exceed 25A RMS. This part provides a 56% current uprating over the SJ6016R2TP while maintaining all critical gate and conduction parameters. Standard Recovery type and Active product status support production continuity. Highest inventory availability (2262 pieces) among substitute options.

SV6016R2TP — Select when Sensitive Gate SCR characteristics are required for low-level gate drive circuits. This part maintains identical current ratings (16A RMS) and all electrical parameters as the SJ6016R2TP but differs in SCR type classification. Use only when gate sensitivity is a design requirement, not as a general substitute. Active status and ROHS3 compliance confirmed.

All substitute parts maintain the same thermal operating range (-40°C to 150°C), package form factor (TO-220-3), and compliance certifications as the primary part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SJ6020R2TP or SJ6025R2TP be used as direct drop-in replacements for SJ6016R2TP?

A: Yes, within the constraints of your application's current requirements. Both parts share identical off-state voltage (600V), gate trigger parameters (Vgt 1.5V max, Igt 10mA max), on-state voltage (1.6V max), and package form factor (TO-220-3). The SJ6020R2TP and SJ6025R2TP are rated for higher RMS currents (20A and 25A respectively) but do not require circuit modifications. Verify that your thermal management design accommodates the higher current rating if selected.

Q: What is the difference between Standard Recovery and Sensitive Gate SCR types?

A: Both types are functionally compatible in this product family and share identical electrical parameters for voltage and current ratings. The SCR Type designation indicates internal device characteristics that affect gate drive sensitivity. Standard Recovery (SJ series) and Sensitive Gate (SV series) types are interchangeable when gate trigger voltage and current specifications match, which they do in this comparison. Select based on your gate drive circuit design requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. All parts listed—SJ6016R2TP, SJ6020R2TP, SJ6025R2TP, and SV6016R2TP—are supplied in Tube packaging with TO-220-3 case and TO-220AB supplier device package. Through Hole mounting type is consistent across all options.

Q: Do substitute parts maintain the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and maintain Active product status. ECCN and HTSUS classifications are identical across the product family.

Q: Which substitute part should I select if I need higher current capacity?

A: Select based on your application's maximum required RMS current: SJ6020R2TP for up to 20A RMS, or SJ6025R2TP for up to 25A RMS. Both maintain all gate drive and conduction voltage specifications of the original SJ6016R2TP. The SJ6025R2TP offers the highest current rating and largest inventory availability.
