L6006L6TP

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6006L6TP is an Alternistor TRIAC designed for high-reliability AC power control applications. It features a 600V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) and supports a continuous on-state RMS current (IT(RMS)) of 6A. The device utilizes a gate trigger current (Igt) of 80mA and maintains a low on-state voltage of 1.6V. Packaged in an isolated TO-220AB (TO-220-2) through-hole configuration, it operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 67A and a holding current maximum of 70mA, ensuring stable switching performance in industrial environments.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Alternistor technology provides enhanced reliability and robustness against harsh electrical conditions compared to standard TRIACs.
• Isolated flange mount package design facilitates efficient thermal management and safe integration into grounded heat sink systems.
• High commutation capability ensures reliable operation in circuits with rapidly changing voltage states.

Triacs Applications

• Industrial motor speed control systems
• Solid-state relays for AC load switching
• Lighting dimmer circuits for commercial fixtures

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and packaging quantity. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your region. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for detailed mechanical drawings and thermal resistance values before finalizing procurement specifications.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6A RMS current rating at 600V is required for AC switching duties. The 80mA gate trigger current necessitates appropriate driver circuitry design. Consider the isolated TO-220AB package for applications requiring electrical isolation between the case and the mounting hardware.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the Littelfuse Qxx16xHx series family, which utilizes Alternistor technology for improved ruggedness. While sharing architectural similarities with other devices in the lineup, the L6006L6TP is specifically rated for 6A continuous current, distinguishing it from higher-current variants like the 16A models.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 600V VDRM, 6A IT(RMS), and TO-220AB isolated package. Verify that substitute TRIACs possess comparable gate trigger currents and holding current specifications to ensure circuit stability without redesign.

Triacs FAQ

What is the difference between this TRIAC and a standard TRIAC?

The L6006L6TP uses Alternistor technology, which offers higher reliability and better performance under harsh electrical conditions compared to conventional TRIAC structures.

Does the TO-220AB package provide electrical isolation?

Yes, the L6006L6TP features an isolated flange mount design, allowing the case to be mounted to a heatsink without creating an electrical short to the circuit ground.
