L6006L5

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6006L5 is a standard TRIAC belonging to the Lxx06xx series, designed for high-temperature applications. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V and an RMS on-state current (It RMS) of 6 A. The device exhibits a maximum holding current of 50 mA and a gate trigger current of 50 mA. Operating within a temperature range from -40 °C to +150 °C, it utilizes a TO-220AB-3 through-hole package. Key electrical characteristics include a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 100 A or 120 A, a maximum off-state leakage current of 10 uA at VDRM, and a typical on-state voltage of 1.4 V.

Triacs Feature Summary

• High-temperature capability suitable for demanding thermal environments
• Standard TRIAC configuration with integrated isolation in TO-220AB-3 package
• Sensitive gate triggering for efficient control circuit interfacing

Triacs Applications

• General purpose AC power switching
• Solid state relays
• Lighting control systems

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Littelfuse before integration. Confirm that the TO-220AB-3 mounting requirements align with the target PCB design. Ensure the gate drive circuit provides sufficient current to meet the 50 mA trigger specification under all operating conditions.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V rating and 6 A continuous current capacity are required in a standard isolated package. Compare against the L6006D6RP if surface mount TO-252AA packaging is preferred instead of through-hole. Verify that the 50 mA holding current meets the load requirements to prevent unintended turn-off during operation.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the Lxx06xx family of TRIACs manufactured by Littelfuse under the Teccor brand. These devices are engineered for robust performance in industrial and consumer AC control applications. The L6006L5 specifically offers a balance of voltage rating and current handling in a widely used through-hole form factor.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

The L6006D6RP serves as a surface-mount alternative within the same voltage and current class, utilizing a TO-252AA package. Direct pin-to-pin replacement is not possible due to the different package types; PCB redesign is required for substitution.
