STMicroelectronics Thyristor, 12A, 600V, TO220

The STMicroelectronics Thyristor is a high-performance semiconductor device designed for reliable power switching and control applications. Housed in a standard TO-220 package, this through-hole mounting thyristor offers a robust solution for managing electrical loads in a variety of circuits.

Featuring a peak repetitive off-state voltage of 600V and an on-state RMS current of 12A, this component is well-suited for medium-power applications. The average on-state current is rated at 8A, while it can handle a peak non-repetitive surge current of up to 120A, ensuring resilience against sudden current spikes. With a maximum gate trigger current of 15mA and a gate trigger voltage of 1.5V, it allows for efficient and precise triggering. Furthermore, the device maintains a maximum holding current of 30mA and operates reliably at temperatures up to 125°C.

Compact in size, the thyristor measures 43mm in height, 33mm in width, and 15mm in depth, with a lightweight profile of just 2 grams, making it highly suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
