L601E8AP

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L601E8AP is a TRIAC from the TECCOR Lx01Ex series, designed for low-power AC control applications. It features a 600 V rated repetitive off-state voltage and conducts an RMS on-state current of 1 A. The device utilizes a sensitive gate structure with a maximum gate trigger current of 3 mA and a gate trigger voltage of 2 V. Packaged in a TO-92 through-hole case, it operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +110 °C. Key electrical characteristics include an on-state voltage of 1.6 V, a holding current maximum of 5 mA, and an off-state leakage current of 2 uA.
