holes ensure environmental sealing when the plug is
fitted into an equipment box or enclosure. For cable
connections, an over-moulded flying lead assembly,
which is fully EMC shielded to MIL STD 461 and Def
Stan 59 411, delivers best-in-class ergonomics and
minimises snagging. Cable plugs can be over-moulded
to match any colour requirement including Multicam®,
MTP and Coyote. Both equipment and cable plugs are
available in either latching or non-latching versions and
the standard garment receptacle can accept either type.
Additional key performance parameters for the mag-

Endurance 5000 mating cycles
Operating temperature of -40°C to +80°C
IP68 (3 metres for 1 hours) mated/unmated
Corrosion resistance 500hrs salt fog
Contact resistance <15m ohm
Fluid and shock resistance to MIL-STD-810G
RoHS, REACH, WEEE compliant
STMicroelectronics Drives Power-Module
Miniaturization with High-Temperature
Surface-Mount Silicon Controlled Rectifiers
STMicroelectronics has introduced the industry’s first
800V surface-mount Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCR,
or thyristor) specified for operation at temperatures up
to 150°C without derating, giving freedom to miniaturize
power modules for applications that demand high
reliability in harsh conditions.
With its 80A current rating, the new TM8050H-8 SCR,
housed in the High-Voltage D3PAK (TO-268-HV),
enables mid-power applications in the 1-10kW range
to leverage surface-mount assembly efficiencies and
reduce PCB and heatsink sizes, lowering system
cost. The package has very low junction-to-case
thermal resistance of 0.25°C/W, ensuring efficient heat
dissipation, and a large pin-to-tab creepage distance of
5.6mm that gives a large safety margin in the presence
of high applied voltages. A TO-247 package option is
also available.
The TM8050H-8 is the latest addition to ST’s family of
SCRs that all bring state-of-the-art device and package
technologies to automotive and industrial power control.
Spanning current ratings from 12A to 80A, the devices
enable designers to create extremely compact and
reliable car or motorcycle voltage regulators, induction
motor starters, soft starters, industrial heater or cooker
controls, Solid-State Relays (SSRs), uninterruptible
power supplies (UPS), and AC-line conditioners.
With low dynamic resistance (RD) and on-state voltage
(VTO) of 5.5 mΩ (TJ = 150°C) and 0.85V respectively,
and leakage current of 20µA max (at 800V, Tj = 25°C),
the TM8050H-8 ensures extremely high energy
efficiency under all operating conditions.
The TM8050H-8 is in production now, priced from $2.20
in TO-247 or $2.50 in High-Voltage D3PAK.
