L201E6

Triacs Overview

The L201E6 is a logic-sensitive gate TRIAC manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. It features a maximum off-state voltage of 200 V and an on-state RMS current rating of 1 A. The device utilizes a sensitive gate structure with a gate trigger current range of 5 mA to 10 mA, enabling direct interfacing with standard logic circuits. This component is designed for AC power control applications requiring low drive currents.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Logic-sensitive gate architecture for direct microcontroller or logic interface
• Bidirectional AC switching capability for phase control applications
• High thermal stability within the TO-220AB package

Triacs Applications

• Lighting dimmer circuits
• Motor speed control systems
• Heater regulation units

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify that the L201E6 is officially marked as obsolete and no longer in production by Littelfuse Inc. before initiating any procurement process. Confirm availability of authorized substitutes such as the L401E6 through official Littelfuse channels or authorized distributors. Ensure all sourcing partners provide valid traceability documentation to avoid counterfeit components.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component only if the application requires a 200 V blocking voltage and 1 A continuous current handling. The logic-sensitive gate characteristic is critical for designs driven directly by TTL or CMOS outputs without additional driver circuitry. Evaluate thermal management requirements for the TO-220AB package under expected load conditions.

Triacs Part Context

The L201E6 belongs to the family of logic-sensitive TRIACs produced by Littelfuse Inc. These devices are engineered for solid-state AC power switching where minimal gate drive current is necessary. The specific model integrates a sensitive gate structure to facilitate compatibility with low-power digital control signals.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

The L401E6 is listed as an upgrade substitute for the L201E6. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence between the obsolete part and the replacement before implementation.
