L4004V6TP

Triacs Overview

The L4004V6TP is a sensitive gate triac from the Teccor brand, manufactured by Littelfuse. It belongs to the Lxx04xx series and is housed in a TO-220-2 package. The device supports a repetitive peak off-state voltage of 400 V and an on-state current of 4 A. Key electrical parameters include a holding current of 5 mA, a gate trigger current of 5 mA, and a gate trigger voltage of 1.6 V. The component features glass-passivated junctions for reliability and offers four-quadrant gating capability.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate design enabling control by digital circuitry with low gate currents
• Four-quadrant gating guaranteed for positive and negative pulse control
• Glass-passivated junctions ensure long device reliability and parameter stability

Triacs Applications

• AC power control circuits requiring sensitive gate triggering
• Digital logic interface applications controlling AC loads
• General purpose switching in household appliances

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TP' against the official Littelfuse datasheet to confirm packaging details such as tube quantity or tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the 400V voltage rating aligns with the system's peak off-state voltage requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's documentation before integration.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4A RMS on-state current and 400V blocking voltage are required. The sensitive gate characteristic (5mA IGT) makes it suitable for direct drive from microcontrollers or logic gates. Compare with other L4004 variants if higher voltage ratings like 600V are needed, ensuring the TO-220-2 package fits the thermal and spatial constraints.

Triacs Part Context

This part is part of the Teccor line of sensitive gate triacs, which includes devices with current capabilities up to 8 A. The L4004 series specifically addresses applications needing reliable four-quadrant control. It is designed for use where standard gate triacs might require excessive drive current, allowing for simpler driver circuitry.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the L4004V6, which shares similar electrical characteristics but may differ in packaging or specific testing criteria. Verify that any substitute maintains the 400V rating and 4A current capacity while supporting sensitive gate operation.
