L6N3

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6N3 is a sensitive gate triac designed for AC switching applications. It features a 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage and an RMS on-state current of 1 A. The device operates with a low gate trigger current of 3 mA, enabling direct interface with logic circuits. It utilizes a COMPAK-3 surface-mount package to facilitate automated assembly. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum holding current of 5 mA and a typical on-state voltage of 1.6 V. The component supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate structure allows control via low-current logic signals
• Surface-mount COMPAK-3 package enables compact PCB layout
• High thermal stability across extended industrial temperature ranges

Triacs Applications

• Lighting dimmer circuits
• Solid-state relays
• Motor speed controls

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variations may exist within the LXNX series. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official Littelfuse documentation prior to integration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target application circuit design.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low gate drive power and small form factor. The 1 A current rating suits light load AC control tasks. Verify that the 600 V blocking voltage exceeds the peak line voltage in the intended system. Consider thermal management requirements given the small surface-mount footprint.

Triacs Part Context

The L6N3 belongs to the LXNX series of sensitive triacs manufactured by Littelfuse. This family focuses on providing reliable AC switching solutions in compact packages. The device integrates glass-passivated junctions for parameter stability. It serves as a core component in modern power control modules requiring high reliability.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Teccor Electronics equivalents such as the L6N3 RP. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution. Ensure the alternative device meets the same sensitivity and voltage specifications.
