L6004L6

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6004L6 is a four-amp sensitive gate triac from the Teccor Lxx04xx series, designed for AC power control applications. It features a standard TO-220AB package with an insulated tab for efficient heat dissipation and mounting. The device operates with a holding current of 5 mA and has a typical on-state voltage drop of 1.6 V at rated current. It supports a repetitive peak off-state voltage of 600 V and offers low leakage current characteristics. This component is suitable for general-purpose switching tasks requiring reliable performance in moderate power environments.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate triggering capability for low-power drive circuits
• Insulated tab design facilitates secure mounting to heatsinks
• Standard TO-220AB package provides robust mechanical stability

Triacs Applications

• General purpose AC motor speed control
• Lighting dimmer circuits
• Solid state relay outputs

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L6' against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm pinout configuration and thermal resistance values. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required gate sensitivity class. Confirm package variant details directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before procurement.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4 A current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are required for AC loads. The sensitive gate characteristic allows compatibility with low-current logic drivers. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the TO-220AB package's thermal resistance specifications for the intended operating environment.

Triacs Part Context

This triac belongs to the Teccor Lxx04xx family of four-amp devices. The series offers various voltage ratings and gate sensitivities. The L6004L6 specifically targets applications needing standard sensitive gate operation within the 600 V range, providing a balance of switching speed and power handling for industrial and consumer electronics.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 4 A, 600 V sensitive gate triacs in TO-220 packages. Verify identical pinout configurations and thermal characteristics before substitution. Consult Littelfuse application notes for compatible alternatives within the same product line.
