TYN612MRG - STMicroelectronics SCR

The TYN612MRG is a robust and versatile Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) manufactured by STMicroelectronics, designed for high-performance operations in a wide range of applications. This SCR is a part of ST's Snubberless™ series, which is well-known for its high commutation performance and ability to handle challenging environments.

Key Features

• Voltage Capacity: The TYN612MRG can withstand a peak repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM) of up to 600V, making it suitable for applications requiring high voltage operation.
• Current Rating: It has an on-state RMS current (IT(RMS)) of 12A, allowing it to handle significant power for various electronic circuits.
• Gate Trigger Current: With a low gate trigger current (IGT) of less than 15mA, this SCR can be easily driven by microcontrollers and other low-power gate trigger circuits.
• Snubberless Technology: The Snubberless™ design provides enhanced commutation capabilities, reducing or eliminating the need for additional components to suppress voltage transients.
• High Surge Capability: The device is capable of withstanding high surge currents, offering a non-repetitive surge peak on-state current (ITSM) of 120A, which is crucial for applications prone to surges or where short-circuit protection is required.
