2N6071BG

Overview

The Littelfuse 2N6071BG is a sensitive gate triac designed for AC switching applications. It features a non-repetitive on-state current of 30 A and a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 200 V. The device exhibits an on-state voltage of 2 V, with a maximum holding current of 15 mA. Gate triggering requirements are specified at 2.5 V and 5 mA. Operating temperatures range from -40 C to +110 C. It utilizes a TO-225-3 through-hole package.

Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate architecture enabling direct interfacing with microprocessors
• Glass-passivated junctions for enhanced durability and parameter stability
• Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes

Applications

• Strobe lights
• Fluid level sensors
• Capacitive-discharge ignition systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm exact electrical characteristics and compliance status. Confirm RoHS details and manufacturing origin directly with the supplier or manufacturer before procurement. Ensure the component matches the required package type and thermal specifications for the intended design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low gate drive current is required for sensitive control circuits. Verify that the 200 V blocking voltage meets the peak line voltage requirements. Ensure the 30 A surge capability is sufficient for the inrush currents present in the load application. Check thermal management needs for the TO-225-3 package under continuous operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 2N6071B series of triacs manufactured by Littelfuse. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings and current capacities. These devices are part of Littelfuse's broader portfolio of silicon-controlled rectifiers and thyristors designed for efficient switching in low-current circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Check for compatible parts within the same 2N6071 family series. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting. Ensure any alternative maintains the sensitive gate characteristic if microprocessor interface is required.
