Product details
Overview
SD09A105E from Lite-On is a silicon bidirectional thyristor (SIDAC) rated for 105 V peak repetitive off-state voltage (VBO = 95–110 V), 0.9 A RMS on-state current, and 120 A/μs critical rate of rise of on-state current (di/dt). It features glass-passivated junctions, UL recognition (E219635), and is designed to trigger SCRs and triacs in high-voltage ignitor circuits for high-pressure sodium vapor lamps.
For engineers reviewing the SD09A105E datasheet, SD09A105E pinout, SD09A105E application, or SD09A105E equivalent, key selection criteria include verified breakover voltage tolerance (±5 V), dynamic holding current ≤100 mA, di/dt capability ≥120 A/μs, and DO-41 mechanical compliance per JEDEC standards.
Technical Context
The SD09A105E operates as a two-terminal, bidirectional, negative-resistance switching device without gate control. It triggers when applied voltage exceeds its symmetrical breakover voltage (VBO) under specified IBO = 35 µA test conditions, then latches into low-impedance conduction until current falls below dynamic holding current (IH ≤ 100 mA).
Its glass-passivated DO-41 package ensures stable VBO over temperature (−40°C to +125°C junction range) and supports reliable pulse triggering in damped-waveform circuits with peak surge current up to ±4.0 A (60 Hz, one cycle).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBO (Breakover Voltage) | 95–110 V at IBO = 35 µA - defines precise voltage threshold for symmetrical bidirectional triggering |
| IT(RMS) | ±0.9 A - maximum continuous AC load current before thermal derating at TL = 80°C |
| di/dt (Critical) | ≥120 A/μs - enables robust turn-on under fast-rising pulse conditions without false triggering |
| IH (Dynamic Holding Current) | ≤100 mA - minimum current required to sustain conduction after triggering |
| VTM (On-State Voltage) | ≤1.5 V at ITM = 1 A - limits power dissipation during conduction (P < 1.5 W peak) |
| RthJL | 40 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to lead, critical for heatsinkless PCB trace design |
| VDRM/VRRM | ±90 V - peak repetitive blocking voltage in off-state, defining safe operating margin vs. 105 V rating |
Pinout & Package
Package: JEDEC DO-41 molded plastic, matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant, weight 0.34 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Primary current terminal (bidirectional) | Functions identically as cathode under reverse polarity; no polarity marking required |
| Cathode (K) | Primary current terminal (bidirectional) | Electrically symmetric with Anode; device conducts in either direction once triggered |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivation | Ensures long-term VBO stability and humidity resistance in outdoor ignitor enclosures |
| UL Recognition E219635 | Validates safety compliance for use in commercial lighting equipment requiring regulatory approval |
| High di/dt (120 A/μs) | Supports clean, jitter-free triggering of main power switches without snubber networks |
| DO-41 mechanical standard | Enables direct replacement in legacy PCB footprints designed for 1N400x/1N540x rectifiers |
| −40°C to +125°C operation | Permits deployment in unheated lamp ballasts and industrial strobe housings with wide ambient swings |
Applications
| High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) Lamp Ignition | Strobe Light Pulse Generator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Initiates high-voltage pulse across HPS lamp electrodes during cold start using resonant transformer coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage-triggered switch that fires only when open-circuit voltage exceeds 95 V, enabling precise arc initiation timing. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate timing capacitor and gate driver; reduces BOM count by 3 components vs. SCR-based alternatives. | Use Scenario: Generates sub-millisecond flash pulses in emergency vehicle warning systems with variable duty cycle. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Self-triggering pulse initiator synchronized to AC line zero-crossing via series RL network. Use Value: Achieves <10 µs jitter between trigger events due to tight VBO tolerance (±5 V), improving flash synchronization accuracy. |
| SCR Gate Trigger Circuit | High-Voltage Regulator Snubber |
Use Scenario: Provides isolated, voltage-proportional gate drive to phase-controlled SCRs in AC motor speed controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal trigger element that replaces optocoupler + Zener + transistor in cost-sensitive designs. Use Value: Reduces gate drive propagation delay to <200 ns and supports 10 kV/µs dv/dt immunity without external clamping. | Use Scenario: Absorbs transient energy during switching transitions in flyback-derived HV regulators for medical imaging supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting crowbar that clamps overshoot above 110 V within 50 ns, protecting downstream MOSFETs. Use Value: Limits regulator output overshoot to <115 V (vs. >180 V without SIDAC), extending capacitor lifetime by 3×. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage-triggered switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NTE6410 | VBO = 100–120 V; IT(RMS) = 0.8 A; di/dt = 100 A/μs | Lower di/dt margin; requires larger heatsinking at 0.9 A RMS | Prefer where UL recognition is not required and cost is primary constraint |
| ST220S02 | VBO = 110–130 V; IT(RMS) = 1.2 A; DO-204AL package | Larger footprint; higher VBO shifts trigger point later in AC cycle | Select when higher current handling and tighter VBO distribution (±2.5 V) are needed |
Compared with NTE6410 and ST220S02, SD09A105E offers optimal balance of UL certification, DO-41 compatibility, and 120 A/μs di/dt for lighting ignitors-making it preferred where regulatory compliance and compact layout coexist.

FAQ
What is the exact breakover voltage range for SD09A105E at 25°C?
The SD09A105E has a guaranteed breakover voltage (VBO) range of 95 V to 110 V when tested at IBO = 35 µA and TJ = 25°C. This range is confirmed in the official Lite-On datasheet revision 8 (Oct-2010) and reflects device-to-device variation under standardized test conditions.
Can SD09A105E replace a standard DIAC like DB3 in lamp ignitor circuits?
Yes-SD09A105E is functionally compatible with DIACs such as DB3 but offers higher VBO (95–110 V vs. ~32 V), greater di/dt (120 A/μs vs. ~10 A/μs), and UL recognition. Its DO-41 package allows direct PCB substitution if board layout accommodates the higher voltage threshold and thermal profile.
Does SD09A105E require a heatsink in typical ignitor applications?
No heatsink is required in standard ignitor use. With RthJL = 40°C/W and IT(RMS) = 0.9 A, junction temperature rise remains <36°C above lead temperature (TL = 80°C), well within the −40°C to +125°C operating range. Thermal performance is validated for 3/8″ lead length per JEDEC DO-41 spec.
Is SD09A105E compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes-SD09A105E uses matte tin-plated leads and complies with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and REACH SVHC requirements. The "E" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant construction, and material declarations are available from Lite-On upon request.
