L2X8E6

Triacs Overview

The L2X8E6 is a logic-sensitive gate TRIAC manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for AC switching and phase control applications. It features an RMS on-state current of 800 mA and a rated repetitive off-state voltage of 200 V. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +110°C and utilizes a TO-92-3 through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a holding current maximum of 10 mA, a gate trigger voltage of 2 V, and a gate trigger current ranging from 5 mA to 10 mA.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Logic-sensitive gate architecture enables reliable triggering with low power drive signals.
• Designed for AC switching and phase control in motor speed and temperature modulation systems.
• Robust construction supports operation across a wide industrial temperature range.

Triacs Applications

• Motor speed control circuits
• Temperature modulation systems
• AC phase control applications

Triacs Procurement Notes

This component is officially classified as obsolete and is no longer manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. Procurement should focus on verified substitute parts or upgrade paths rather than original inventory. Buyers must confirm availability through authorized distributors and verify that replacement components meet the same electrical specifications and package requirements for seamless integration.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component only if legacy compatibility is required, as it has been superseded by newer series such as the L4X8E6. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed 200 V and current demands remain within 800 mA RMS. Verify that the TO-92-3 package fits the PCB layout constraints. Consider upgrading to available equivalents to ensure long-term supply chain stability and performance consistency.

Triacs Part Context

The L2X8E6 belongs to the low-power TRIAC family from Littelfuse, specifically engineered for sensitive gate applications. It serves as a solid-state switch for controlling AC loads in consumer and industrial electronics. As part of the discontinued lineup, it represents an earlier generation of logic-sensitive thyristors designed for cost-effective phase control solutions before being replaced by updated series offerings.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

The L4X8E6 is a confirmed substitute part number for the L2X8E6. Both devices share similar form factors and functional roles, though the L4X8E6 offers a higher voltage rating of 400 V. Engineers should verify pinout compatibility and thermal management requirements when transitioning between these models to maintain circuit integrity.
