Product details
Overview
TN805-600B-TR from STMicroelectronics is a standard-sensitivity 8 A, 600 V silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) in DPAK package, with 5 mA maximum gate trigger current (IGT), 1.6 V max on-state voltage (VTM) at 16 A, and 50 A/µs critical rate of rise of on-state current (dl/dt); used in overvoltage crowbar protection and motor control circuits for power tools.
For engineers reviewing the TN805-600B-TR datasheet, TN805-600B-TR pinout, TN805-600B-TR application, or TN805-600B-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include VDRM/VRRM rating, IGT sensitivity level, thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 1.3 °C/W), and DPAK surface-mount compatibility for space-constrained industrial controls.
Technical Context
This SCR operates as a unidirectional latching switch triggered by a low-energy gate pulse, sustaining up to 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage and conducting 8 A RMS under 110 °C case temperature. Its 50 A/µs dl/dt rating ensures robust turn-on immunity against fast current transients in inductive loads.
Designed for phase-controlled AC power regulation, it features 46 mΩ dynamic resistance (Rd) and 0.85 V threshold voltage (Vt0) at 125 °C junction temperature, enabling predictable conduction loss and thermal stability in motor drive and crowbar circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM / VRRM | 600 V - Maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage before unintended conduction in blocking mode |
| IT(RMS) | 8 A - Continuous RMS on-state current capability at TC = 110 °C with TO-220FPAB-equivalent thermal path |
| IGT (max) | 5 mA - Maximum gate trigger current required to reliably initiate conduction at 25 °C |
| VTM | 1.6 V - Peak on-state voltage drop at 16 A pulse, defining conduction loss and self-heating under load |
| dl/dt (critical) | 50 A/µs - Minimum rate of rise of on-state current that must be exceeded to ensure reliable turn-on |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.3 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance for DPAK package, enabling direct heatsink mounting |
| dV/dt (min) | 50 V/µs - Minimum rate of rise of off-state voltage before false triggering, measured with gate open |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) package with exposed cathode tab for thermal and electrical connection; 3-terminal surface-mount configuration optimized for automated assembly and PCB-level heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Main current entry terminal | Carries full load current into device; electrically isolated from tab; requires clearance for high-voltage isolation |
| Cathode (K) | Main current exit terminal & thermal interface | Connected to exposed metal tab; serves as primary heat path to PCB copper; common reference for gate drive |
| Gate (G) | Control input for turn-on initiation | Low-energy trigger point; requires ≤5 mA pulse; sensitive to noise-must be routed away from switching nodes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Standard gate sensitivity | IGT ≤ 5 mA enables compatibility with microcontroller GPIO or optocoupler drivers without external amplification |
| High dv/dt immunity | 50 V/µs minimum prevents false triggering in noisy AC line environments such as motor drives and dimmers |
| Optimized thermal performance | Rth(j-c) = 1.3 °C/W allows 8 A RMS operation with minimal heatsinking when mounted on ≥1 cm² copper area |
| Robust surge capability | 73 A non-repetitive surge (tp = 8.3 ms) supports inrush current limiting and short-duration fault handling |
| ECOPACK-compliant packaging | Halogen-free molding compound and lead-free plating meet RoHS and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow requirements |
Applications
| Overvoltage Crowbar Protection | Power Tool Motor Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Fast-acting shutdown circuit that shorts AC line to ground when regulated DC bus exceeds safe threshold. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latching high-current switch activated by comparator-driven gate pulse; remains on until AC zero-crossing. Use Value: Prevents damage to downstream SMPS or logic circuitry during transient overvoltage events with <10 µs response latency. |
Use Scenario: Phase-angle controlled speed regulation in universal motor-based corded drills and sanders. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch in single-phase AC bridge; gated synchronously with line zero-crossing for smooth torque delivery. Use Value: Enables precise 0–100% speed control with low EMI and minimal conduction loss due to 1.6 V VTM at rated current. |
| Inrush Current Limiting | Voltage Regulation Circuits |
Use Scenario: Soft-start for transformer-coupled power supplies or large capacitor banks in industrial equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected SCR bypassed after initial charge cycle; triggered with delayed phase angle to limit peak input current. Use Value: Reduces stress on rectifiers and fuses by limiting inrush to <2× steady-state current, extending component lifetime. |
Use Scenario: AC line voltage stabilization in laboratory bench supplies or HVAC control panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Feedback-controlled phase-triggered switch regulating RMS output voltage via firing angle adjustment. Use Value: Achieves ±1% output regulation accuracy across 10–100% load range using simple analog feedback loop. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SCR switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TN815-600B-TR | Higher IGT (15 mA max) and identical VDRM/IT(RMS); same DPAK package and thermal specs | Requires stronger gate drive but offers improved noise immunity in high-interference environments | Select when gate driver can source ≥15 mA and system demands higher dV/dt margin (>150 V/µs) |
| TS820-600B | Sensitive gate (IGT ≤ 0.2 mA), lower VDRM derating at high Tj, same DPAK footprint | Enables direct MCU GPIO triggering but reduced surge robustness (ITSM = 73 A vs. 70 A) | Choose for ultra-low-power control where gate drive energy is constrained and crowbar speed is critical |
Compared with TN805-600B-TR, TN815-600B-TR trades gate drive simplicity for enhanced noise margin, while TS820-600B sacrifices surge ruggedness for microamp-level trigger sensitivity-making TN805 the balanced choice for general-purpose industrial AC switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The TN805-600B-TR has an operating junction temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C. For continuous 8 A RMS conduction, case temperature must not exceed 110 °C per absolute ratings table; this requires maintaining Rth(j-a) ≤ 70 °C/W with ≥1 cm² copper pad on FR4 PCB.
Can TN805-600B-TR replace TS820-600B in a sensitive-gate design?
No-TN805-600B-TR requires up to 5 mA gate current, whereas TS820-600B triggers with ≤0.2 mA. Substituting TN805 risks failed turn-on unless the gate driver is redesigned to deliver higher current and withstand higher VGT (1.3 V vs. 0.8 V).
Is the DPAK package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes-the TN805-600B-TR uses a halogen-free epoxy molding compound meeting UL94 V0 flammability standard, and its leads are plated with lead-free matte tin per JEDEC J-STD-020, fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for reliable triggering?
A 220 Ω gate resistor is specified in ST's characterization tests (Table 3). With 12 V gate drive, this delivers ~54 mA peak current-well above the 5 mA IGT max-and limits di/dt to prevent gate damage while ensuring clean turn-on across temperature.
