L6004V3

Triacs Overview

The L6004V3 is a bidirectional TRIAC from Littelfuse, rated for 600 V repetitive off-state voltage and 4 A RMS on-state current. It features sensitive gate triggering with a maximum holding current of 5 mA and gate trigger current of 3 mA. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, offering non-repetitive surge currents of 33 A or 40 A depending on the specific variant. It utilizes a TO-251 (V-Pak) package.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate design enabling low power control applications
• UL certified L-package providing 2.5 kV isolation voltage
• Passivated glass junction for enhanced reliability
• Solid state switching capability reducing arc and contact wear

Triacs Applications

• Motor speed control systems
• Temperature modulation circuits
• AC phase control applications

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration when ordering, as variations such as TP or V may indicate different packaging or specific manufacturing lot attributes. Confirm that the TO-251 package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 600V rating aligns with your circuit's peak voltage demands. Cross-reference the datasheet for specific thermal derating curves relevant to your operating environment.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component for AC switching tasks requiring low gate drive power due to its sensitive gate characteristics. The 4A RMS rating suits moderate load applications. Consider the TO-251 package for through-hole mounting where space is limited compared to larger packages. Verify compatibility with your controller's output current capabilities against the 3mA gate trigger requirement.
