Product details
Overview
TYN1006RG from STMicroelectronics is a glass-passivated silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) designed for AC power control in resistive and inductive loads up to 400 Hz, with 1000 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VRRM), 6 A RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)), and 15 mA gate trigger current (IGT). It operates in TO-220AB package and is used in industrial motor controls, lighting dimmers, and AC solid-state relays.
For engineers reviewing the TYN1006RG datasheet, TYN1006RG pinout, TYN1006RG application, or TYN1006RG equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, dV/dt immunity (≥200 V/µs at 110°C), surge capability (70 A @ 10 ms), thermal resistance (2.5 °C/W j-c), and gate sensitivity (1.5 V VGT max).
Technical Context
The TYN1006RG is a unidirectional thyristor requiring gate-triggered turn-on and natural commutation via current zero-crossing. Its 1000 V VRRM rating supports operation on 400 VAC mains with safety margin, and its 200 V/µs dV/dt rating ensures robustness against false triggering in noisy inductive switching environments.
Thermal design relies on junction-to-case resistance of 2.5 °C/W, enabling 6 A RMS conduction at 110°C case temperature when heatsinked. The device sustains non-repetitive surge currents up to 70 A for 10 ms (I²t = 24.5 A²s), suitable for brief overload conditions in motor start-up or transformer inrush suppression.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM / VDRM | 1000 V - Withstands peak reverse voltage in AC line applications up to 707 V RMS without conduction. |
| IT(RMS) | 6 A - Sustains continuous 6 A RMS load current at 110°C case temperature with appropriate heatsinking. |
| IGT | 15 mA max - Gate trigger current threshold; compatible with standard microcontroller GPIO or optocoupler drivers. |
| dV/dt | 200 V/µs min at 110°C - Resists spurious turn-on from voltage transients in inductive load switching. |
| Rth(j-c) | 2.5 °C/W - Enables thermal design with predictable junction temperature rise under DC or phase-angle controlled loads. |
| tq | 70 µs typ - Turn-off time defining minimum off-period required before retriggering in AC phase control. |
| I²t | 24.5 A²s - Fusing integral used to coordinate with upstream fuses for short-circuit protection. |
Pinout & Package
TYN1006RG is housed in a TO-220AB package with insulated tab, featuring three terminals: anode (A), cathode (K), and gate (G). The case is electrically connected to the anode, and mounting requires electrical isolation if the heatsink is grounded.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Main current entry terminal | Connected to AC line or high-side load; electrically tied to metal tab for thermal conduction. |
| Cathode (K) | Main current exit terminal | Reference node for gate drive; carries full load current to neutral or return path. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Low-energy trigger point (≤15 mA, ≤1.5 V) initiating conduction between A and K. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivation | Enhances humidity and contamination resistance for long-term reliability in industrial enclosures. |
| ECOPACK® compliance | Lead-free second-level interconnect and RoHS-compliant packaging per JEDEC JESD97. |
| High dV/dt immunity | 200 V/µs minimum prevents false triggering during inductive load switching transients. |
| Robust surge rating | 70 A non-repetitive surge current (10 ms) supports motor startup and transformer energization. |
| Low thermal resistance | 2.5 °C/W junction-to-case enables compact heatsink designs for 6 A continuous operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SCR-based AC power control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BT139-800R | 800 V VRRM, 16 A IT(RMS), TO-220 package with isolated tab | Higher current rating but lower voltage margin; requires different heatsink isolation strategy | Select when >6 A load current or higher dI/dt (100 A/µs) is needed; verify gate drive compatibility (IGT = 15 mA same). |
| TYN1012RG | 1200 V VRRM, same 6 A IT(RMS), identical TO-220AB package and pinout | Extended voltage headroom for 480 VAC or transient-prone grids; otherwise functionally interchangeable | Choose for enhanced surge tolerance in industrial plants with poor power quality or long feeders. |
Compared with BT139-800R and TYN1012RG, the TYN1006RG offers optimal balance of 1000 V blocking, 6 A rating, and proven thermal performance in TO-220AB-making it ideal for 230/400 VAC systems where voltage margin and footprint are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The TYN1006RG has an operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. For continuous 6 A RMS conduction, the case temperature must not exceed 110°C, as specified in Absolute Ratings Table 3. Exceeding this limit risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of on-state voltage.
Is a heatsink required for 6 A RMS operation?
Yes-a heatsink is mandatory. With Rth(j-c) = 2.5 °C/W and 6 A RMS producing ~3.6 W conduction loss (based on VTM ≈ 1.6 V), junction temperature rises ~9°C above case. To stay within 125°C Tj limit at 110°C case, thermal interface resistance and heatsink thermal resistance must be minimized.
Can TYN1006RG replace TYN606RG in existing designs?
No direct drop-in replacement: while both share TO-220AB package and 6 A rating, TYN1006RG has 1000 V VRRM versus 600 V for TYN606RG. Substitution requires verification that system transients and peak line voltages remain within 600 V margin-or risk catastrophic failure.
What gate drive circuit is recommended?
A series resistor of 220 Ω with a 12 V DC pulse (per Table 4 test condition) limits gate current to ~55 mA peak, well below 4 A IGM rating. For microcontroller interfacing, use an optocoupler (e.g., MOC3021) with 100–220 Ω series resistor to ensure ≥15 mA IGT while limiting VGT to ≤1.5 V.
