The TYN816RG from STMicroelectronics is a robust and versatile thyristor, or silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR), designed for high-performance applications requiring controlled rectification and phase control. This device is part of the TYN series, which is well-known for its reliability and efficiency in various power control and switching applications.

With a peak off-state voltage (VDRM / VRRM) of 800V, the TYN816RG is suitable for applications where high voltage handling is crucial. It is capable of supporting a current of up to 16A, making it an excellent choice for medium power applications. The TO-220AB package ensures that this SCR can be easily integrated into a wide range of electronic circuits while providing good thermal performance and high durability.

The TYN816RG offers a gate trigger current (IGT) of 15mA to 25mA, which is relatively low, allowing for easy triggering with simple gate drive circuits. This feature, combined with its high surge current capability, makes it an ideal choice for motor control, overvoltage crowbar protection, inrush current limiting circuits, and controlled rectifier bridges where reliability and performance are paramount.

Key features of the TYN816RG include:

• On-state RMS current (IT(RMS)) of 16A
• Repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM / VRRM) of 800V
• Non-repetitive peak on-state current (ITSM) of 160A
• Gate trigger current (IGT) of 15mA to 25mA
• Operating junction temperature range from -40°C to 125°C
• TO-220AB package for optimal heat dissipation

STMicroelectronics has designed the TYN816RG to meet stringent quality and performance standards, ensuring that it delivers consistent performance even under harsh conditions. The device is also RoHS compliant and adheres to international environmental standards, making it a suitable choice for eco-friendly and energy-efficient designs.

Whether you are designing power supplies, motor controllers, or looking for a reliable component for your power management solutions, the TYN816RG offers the performance and reliability you need to ensure your applications run smoothly.
