Additional Details

The S6008DS2 is typically available in a TO-251 (I-PAK) or TO-252 (D-PAK) package, providing good thermal dissipation. The sensitive gate characteristic allows the SCR to be triggered with a small gate current, making it suitable for direct interfacing with low-power control circuits. Littelfuse's stringent manufacturing processes ensure high quality and reliability. The SCR is designed to withstand harsh operating conditions and provide consistent performance over a wide temperature range. The glass-passivated junction provides increased stability and reliability. The holding current is a specified parameter which ensures the SCR remains latched on once triggered. The device is lead-free and RoHS compliant.
