Product details
Overview
TN6050HP-12WY from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101 qualified automotive-grade SCR thyristor in TO-247 package, rated for 60 A RMS on-state current, 1200 V repetitive off-state voltage, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature. It delivers robust AC switching and controlled rectification in high-reliability battery chargers and renewable energy inverters.
For engineers reviewing the TN6050HP-12WY datasheet, TN6050HP-12WY pinout, TN6050HP-12WY application, or TN6050HP-12WY equivalent, key selection criteria include dV/dt immunity (1000 V/µs), surge current capability (600 A @ 10 ms), gate trigger current (≤50 mA), and thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 0.3 °C/W).
Technical Context
This SCR operates as a unidirectional power switch triggered by a positive gate pulse, with latching behavior requiring load current interruption to reset. Its 1400 V non-repetitive surge rating and 200 A/µs critical di/dt support high-energy transient resilience in AC line-controlled topologies.
Designed for phase-angle control and half-wave/full-wave rectifier bridges, it features low on-state voltage (VTM ≤ 1.5 V at 120 A, 25 °C) and tight thermal coupling (0.3 °C/W j-c) enabling high-power density designs without forced cooling in many automotive and industrial applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 60 A - Sustained AC conduction capability at TC = 134 °C, suitable for continuous 6–10 kW rectifier stages |
| VDRM / VRRM | 1200 V - Repetitive blocking voltage across anode-cathode, enabling direct use on 690 VAC three-phase lines with safety margin |
| ITSM (10 ms) | 600 A - Non-repetitive surge current handling, supports ICL and fault-clearing in UPS bypass SSRs |
| dV/dt (Tj = 150 °C) | 1000 V/µs - High noise immunity prevents false triggering in EMI-rich automotive and solar inverter environments |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.3 °C/W - Low thermal resistance enables >90 W dissipation with standard heatsink mounting, reducing thermal derating |
| IGT (max) | 50 mA - Gate drive requirement compatible with standard opto-SCR drivers and microcontroller GPIO via buffer |
| VGM / IGM | 10 V / 8 A - Peak gate voltage/current limits define safe triggering pulse design for reliable turn-on under worst-case conditions |
Pinout & Package
TO-247 package with uninsulated metal tab (Tab = Anode). Three-terminal configuration optimized for high-current, high-voltage switching with low-inductance gate loop and direct case-to-heatsink thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Tab) | Main current entry terminal | Electrically and thermally connected to metal tab; must be isolated from chassis unless circuit topology requires common-anode configuration |
| Cathode | Main current exit terminal | Low-inductance connection point for load return; defines reference for gate drive and snubber placement |
| Gate | Control input for turn-on | Triggered by positive pulse relative to cathode; requires <50 mA peak current and <1.3 V threshold for guaranteed conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood operation including temperature cycling, vibration, and humidity testing per JESD47 |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without active cooling in battery charger modules |
| ECOPACK2 compliance | Lead-free, halogen-free construction meeting RoHS and ELV directives for global automotive supply chain requirements |
| 1400 V non-repetitive surge rating | Withstands lightning-induced transients and grid-switching overvoltages in solar/wind AC interfaces without external clamping |
| 0.3 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance | Supports >90 W steady-state dissipation with standard TO-247 heatsinks, reducing need for oversized thermal management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SCR switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS MCR60-12IO1 | 60 A RMS, 1200 V, TO-247, but higher IGT (max 100 mA) and lower dV/dt (600 V/µs) | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or vibration | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial rectifiers where automotive reliability is not required |
| ON Semiconductor Q6060JH4 | 60 A RMS, 600 V rating (not 1200 V); TO-220AB package; Rth(j-c) = 1.2 °C/W | Lower voltage rating restricts use to 230 VAC systems; higher thermal resistance limits power density | Only suitable for low-voltage, space-constrained consumer-grade ICL or SSR designs |
Compared with MCR60-12IO1 and Q6060JH4, the TN6050HP-12WY uniquely combines automotive qualification, 1200 V blocking, and 0.3 °C/W thermal resistance-enabling single-device solutions in high-reliability, high-power AC switching where voltage margin and thermal performance are critical.

FAQ
Is TN6050HP-12WY pin-compatible with standard TO-247 SCR footprints?
Yes. The TN6050HP-12WY uses industry-standard TO-247 mechanical dimensions (D = 20.0 mm, E = 15.6 mm, e = 5.4 mm) and terminal layout (Anode-tab, Cathode-left, Gate-right), matching JEDEC TO-247-3 outline and enabling drop-in replacement in existing PCB layouts designed for 3-pin TO-247 SCRs.
What is the recommended gate drive circuit for reliable turn-on?
A gate trigger pulse of ≥100 mA peak (to ensure margin above 50 mA max IGT), 1–2 µs minimum width, and ≤10 V amplitude is recommended. Use a series resistor (typically 10–33 Ω) between driver and gate to limit di/dt and prevent oscillation, with local 100 nF ceramic decoupling at the gate-cathode terminals.
Can TN6050HP-12WY be used in bidirectional AC switching applications?
No. As a unidirectional SCR, it conducts only from anode to cathode when triggered. For bidirectional AC switching, two TN6050HP-12WY devices must be connected in inverse-parallel, or a TRIAC such as ST's BTB16-1200BW should be selected instead.
Does TN6050HP-12WY require a heatsink in all operating conditions?
Yes. With 60 A RMS rating and typical on-state loss of ~1.2 W/A, power dissipation exceeds 70 W at full load. The 0.3 °C/W Rth(j-c) requires a heatsink maintaining case temperature ≤134 °C; natural convection is insufficient-forced air or liquid-cooled heatsinks are mandatory for sustained operation.
