Electrical Specification Notes
(1)
See Figures 5.1 through 5.9 for current ratings at specified operat-
ing case temperatures.
(2)
See Figure 5.10 for IGT vs TC.
(3)
See Figure 5.11 for instantaneous on-state current (iT) vs on-state
voltage (vT) - (typical).
(4)
See Figure 5.12 for VGT vs TC.
(5)
See Figure 5.13 for IH vs TC.
(6)
For more than one full cycle, see Figure 5.14.
(7)
0.8 - 4.0A devices also have a pulse peak forward current on-state
rating (repetitive) of 75A. This rating applies for operation at 60Hz,
75°C maximum tab (or anode) lead temperature, switching from
80V peak, sinusoidal current pulse width of 10
s minimum, 15s
maximum. See Figures 5.20 and 5.21.

See Figure 5.15 for tgt vs IGT.

Test conditions as follows:
TC ≤ 80°C, rectangular current waveform; rate-of-rise of current ≤
10A/
s. Rate-of-reversal of current ≤ 5A/s. ITM = 1A (50s pulse)
Repetition Rate = 60pps. VRRM = Rated.
VR = 15V minimum, VDRM = Rated. Rate-of-rise reapplied forward
blocking voltage= 5V/
s. Gate Bias = 0V, 100 (during turn-off
time interval).
(10) Test condition is maximum rated RMS current except TO-92
devices are 1.2APK; T106/T107 devices are 4APK.
(11) VD = 6VDC, RL = 100. See Figure 5.19 for simple test circuit for
measuring gate trigger voltage and gate trigger current.
(12) See Figures 5.1 through 5.9 for maximum allowable case temper-
ature at maximum rated current.
(13) IGT = 500A maximum for TC = -40°C for T106 devices.
(14) IH = 10mA maximum for TC = -65°C for 2N5060 Series and
2N6564 Series devices.
(15) IH = 6mA maximum for TC = -40°C for T106 devices.
(16) Pulse Width
≤ 10s.
(17) IGT = 350A maximum at TC = -65°C for 2N5060 Series and
2N6564 Series devices.
(18) Latching current can be higher than 20mA for higher IGT types.
Also latching current can be much higher at -40°C. See Figure
5.18.
(19) TC = TJ for test conditions in off-state.
