L6006V5TP

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6006V5TP is a bidirectional triac rated for 6A RMS on-state current and 600V repetitive peak off-state voltage. It utilizes a TO-251 (SOT-57) surface-mount package with three pins. The device features a sensing gate structure designed for high noise immunity, characterized by a minimum gate trigger current of 5mA and a maximum holding current of 50mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensing gate architecture provides enhanced noise immunity for reliable switching in electrically noisy environments.
• Surface-mount TO-251 package design facilitates automated assembly and compact circuit board layouts.

Triacs Applications

• Lighting control systems
• Motor speed control circuits
• Heating element regulation

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V' confirms the TO-251 surface-mount package variant rather than through-hole alternatives. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer datasheet before integration. Ensure the selected component matches the required thermal management specifications for the intended application environment.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when surface-mount technology is required for triac applications. The sensing gate feature is critical for designs susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Compare the 6A current rating against load requirements to ensure adequate margin. Consider the TO-251 footprint constraints during PCB layout planning.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the Littelfuse Teccor series of power triacs. It serves as a solid-state switch for AC power control. The device replaces older through-hole variants where space savings are prioritized. It supports industrial and consumer electronics requiring robust AC switching capabilities.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Littelfuse TO-251 triacs such as L6004V5TP for lower current needs or QJ6006L5TP for through-hole compatibility. Verify pinout and thermal resistance differences before substitution.
