L6004V6

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6004V6 is a four-quadrant sensitive gate triac belonging to the Teccor Lxx04xx series. It features a standard TO-220AB package and supports a repetitive peak off-state voltage of 600 V with a continuous on-state current rating of 4 A. The device exhibits a maximum on-state voltage of 1.6 V at rated current and maintains a low holding current of 5 mA. Designed for robust AC power control, it offers high surge capability and reliable switching performance in industrial and consumer applications requiring precise gate sensitivity.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Four-quadrant sensitive gate triggering ensures reliable turn-on across all gate polarities and main terminal voltages.
• High thermal stability provided by the TO-220AB leaded package suitable for heatsinking.
• Low on-state voltage drop minimizes conduction losses and heat generation during operation.

Triacs Applications

• Solid-state relays and motor speed controls
• Lighting dimmers and soft-start circuits
• Industrial AC power regulation systems

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging options. Ensure the component meets required safety certifications such as UL or VDE for the target market. Confirm availability through authorized Littelfuse distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4 A RMS current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are required for AC load switching. The sensitive gate characteristic makes it suitable for direct drive from logic circuits or microcontrollers without additional amplification. Consider thermal management requirements based on the expected duty cycle and ambient temperature conditions.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the Littelfuse Teccor L6004 series of general-purpose triacs. The series is designed for medium-power AC control applications. The L6004V6 specifically denotes the 600 V voltage variant within this family, sharing common mechanical dimensions and basic electrical characteristics with other voltage ratings in the same series.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 4 A, 600 V sensitive gate triacs in TO-220 packages from manufacturers like STMicroelectronics or Vishay. Verify that substitute parts match the 5 mA holding current and 1.6 V on-state voltage specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
