L4X8E6AP

Triacs Overview

The L4X8E6AP is a four-quadrant logic level TRIAC manufactured by Littelfuse, designed for efficient power control in low-current applications. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 400 V and an RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)) of 800 mA. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65 °C to +110 °C and utilizes a TO-92 three-lead plastic package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum holding current of 10 mA, a gate trigger voltage of 2 V, and a gate trigger current ranging from 5 mA to 10 mA. It exhibits a typical on-state voltage of 1.6 V and a maximum leakage current of 10 µA at VDRM.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Four-quadrant logic level triggering capability ensures reliable operation across all gate signal polarities.
• Compact TO-92 plastic package design facilitates easy integration into space-constrained printed circuit boards.
• High thermal stability supports continuous operation in demanding industrial and consumer environments.

Triacs Applications

• Lighting dimmer circuits for residential and commercial fixtures
• Small AC motor speed control systems
• Solid-state relay input stages

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AP' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging or compliance variations. Ensure the component meets RoHS directives if required by your assembly process. Cross-reference the Littelfuse part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-gate-drive TRIAC is required for currents up to 800 mA. The 400 V rating suits single-phase AC mains applications. Consider the TO-92 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and board space. Verify that the gate trigger requirements align with the driving logic levels of the control circuitry.

Triacs Part Context

This device belongs to the LxX8Ex series of TRIACs from Littelfuse, focusing on logic-level sensitivity. The series is engineered for cost-effective power switching solutions where minimal gate drive power is essential. It complements Littelfuse's broader portfolio of thyristors and power control semiconductors used in consumer electronics and industrial automation.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consult Littelfuse engineering support or authorized distributor cross-reference tools for verified equivalents. Ensure any replacement matches the 400 V rating, 800 mA current capacity, and TO-92 package dimensions.
