L4006V5TP

Triacs Overview

The L4006V5TP is a four-quadrant sensitive gate TRIAC manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. housed in a TO-251 surface-mount package. It features a repetitive peak off-state voltage of 400V and an on-state current rating of 6A. The device utilizes a symmetrical gate trigger current specification of 5mA across all quadrants, ensuring reliable switching with low-power control circuits. This component is designed for applications requiring robust AC power control with minimal gate drive requirements.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate design enabling reliable triggering with low gate current
• Four-quadrant operation for consistent performance regardless of gate signal polarity
• Surface-mount TO-251 package suitable for automated assembly processes

Triacs Applications

• Lighting dimmers and control systems
• Small motor speed control applications
• Solid-state relay output stages
• General purpose AC power switching circuits

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TP' corresponds to the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration when ordering. Confirm that the 400V voltage rating and 6A current capacity align with the thermal management capabilities of the target PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with the 5mA gate trigger requirement of the driving circuitry before finalizing procurement specifications.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount TRIAC with sensitive gate characteristics is required for compact designs. The TO-251 package offers a balance between current handling and board space efficiency compared to larger through-hole alternatives. Consider the 400V blocking capability as the primary constraint for high-voltage AC line applications where lower ratings are insufficient.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to Littelfuse's family of sensitive gate TRIACs designed for general-purpose AC control. The L4006 series typically provides standardized electrical characteristics for industrial and consumer electronics. The TO-251 form factor distinguishes it from traditional axial or radial leaded TRIACs, facilitating modern PCB integration.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Littelfuse L4006 variants if different packaging options are needed. Verify equivalent parts from other manufacturers only if they match the 400V/6A ratings and 5mA gate sensitivity precisely. Check pinout compatibility for direct replacement in existing layouts.
