L2008V6TP

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L2008V6TP is a bidirectional triac designed for AC power control applications. It features a maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage of 400V and an RMS on-state current rating of 8A. The device utilizes a sensitive gate structure with a gate trigger current range of 5mA to 10mA, facilitating direct interfacing with logic circuits. It is housed in a TO-220-2AB package, providing robust thermal management capabilities for high-power switching tasks.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate triggering capability for simplified drive circuit design
• High thermal stability within the TO-220-2AB leaded package
• Robust off-state voltage blocking for reliable AC line isolation

Triacs Applications

• AC motor speed control systems
• Solid-state relay output stages
• Lighting dimmer circuits

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm voltage class and pinout configuration. Ensure the TO-220-2AB package variant matches the thermal requirements of the target PCB layout before finalizing procurement orders.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8A RMS current capacity at 400V blocking voltage is required. The sensitive gate characteristic makes it suitable for low-power microcontroller interfaces. Evaluate the thermal resistance of the TO-220-2AB package against the expected heat dissipation in the application environment.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the Lxx08x series of triacs from Littelfuse, which are engineered for general-purpose AC switching. The series offers a balance of current handling and gate sensitivity, commonly used in industrial and consumer AC power regulation modules requiring reliable thyristor-based switching.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Consult the Littelfuse cross-reference guide for verified equivalents. Ensure any substitute maintains the 8A/400V rating and compatible TO-220-2 footprint without altering the gate trigger characteristics.
