L6008L8

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6008L8 is a sensitive gate TRIAC designed for AC switching and phase control applications. It features an 8 A RMS on-state current capability and a rated repetitive off-state voltage of 600 V. The device operates within a temperature range of -40 C to +150 C. Key electrical parameters include an on-state voltage of 1.6 V, a maximum holding current Ih, and an off-state leakage current of 20 uA at VDRM. It utilizes a TO-220 package with an isolated tab for through-hole mounting.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate design enabling reliable triggering with low gate current requirements
• Bidirectional AC switch functionality controlled by gate signal polarity
• High static dv/dt immunity exceeding 10 V/µs for noise resistance

Triacs Applications

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

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the L6008L8 to confirm exact holding current limits and thermal characteristics. Ensure the TO-220 isolated tab package matches the target PCB layout requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation for RoHS compliance status and recommended soldering profiles to guarantee component integrity during assembly.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8 A current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are required for AC load switching. The sensitive gate characteristic makes it suitable for logic-level or low-power driver interfaces. Consider the TO-220 form factor for applications requiring robust thermal dissipation via an isolated heatsink mount compared to surface-mount alternatives.
