L401E6AP

Triacs Overview

The L401E6AP is a sensitive gate TRIAC manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for logic-level triggering applications. It features a maximum off-state voltage of 400 V and an RMS on-state current rating of 1 A. The device is housed in a TO-92 package with three leads, specifically configured in an Ammo Pack (AP) configuration as indicated by the suffix. Key electrical parameters include a gate trigger current of 5 mA and an on-state voltage of 1.6 V at rated conditions.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate design enabling direct interface with logic circuits
• High dv/dt capability for noise immunity
• Robust thermal performance within standard through-hole constraints

Triacs Applications

• Lighting control systems
• Motor speed control circuits
• Heater regulation modules

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific packing option suffix AP corresponds to the required Ammo Pack format during procurement. Confirm that the 400 V voltage rating and 1 A current capacity align with the target circuit requirements. Ensure compatibility with TO-92 mounting standards for the intended PCB layout.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when logic-level triggering is required without additional driver circuitry. The 400 V rating suits low-voltage AC applications. Consider the TO-92 package size for space-constrained designs requiring through-hole assembly methods.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the L401 series of TRIACs from Littelfuse, characterized by sensitive gate technology. The AP suffix denotes the Ammo Pack packaging variant, distinguishing it from bulk or reel configurations. It serves as a fundamental switching element in AC power control applications.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 400 V, 1 A sensitive gate TRIACs in TO-92 packages. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
