L401E8RP

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L401E8RP is a bidirectional triac belonging to the TECCOR Lx01Ex series, designed for through-hole mounting in TO-92 packages. It features an RMS on-state current of 1 A and a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 400 V. The device exhibits a maximum holding current of 10 mA, with gate trigger parameters specified at 2 V and 5 mA. It maintains a low on-state voltage of 1.6 V and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +110°C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Provides reliable switching capability for AC power control applications
• Features sensitive gate triggering characteristics for efficient drive circuits
• Designed for robust thermal performance across wide operating temperatures

Triacs Applications

• General purpose AC load switching
• Solid state relay inputs
• Lighting control circuits

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RP' against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm reel packaging requirements. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with manufacturer minimum order quantities if applicable. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee parameter accuracy before finalizing procurement specifications.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 A RMS current rating and 400 V blocking voltage are required in a compact TO-92 form factor. Compare the 10 mA holding current against circuit leakage constraints. Verify that the 5 mA gate trigger current matches the available driver output capabilities for reliable turn-on under all operating conditions.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the Littelfuse TECCOR Lx01Ex family of general-purpose triacs. These devices are engineered for cost-effective AC power management solutions. The L401E8RP shares core electrical characteristics with other members of the series, differentiated primarily by package style and manufacturing lot specifics.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Consult Littelfuse substitution guides for equivalent triacs with matching 1 A/400 V ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before implementing any alternative components from different manufacturers.
