L6X3RP

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6X3RP is a bidirectional triac belonging to the LXNX series, designed for AC power control applications. It features a 600 V rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) and supports an RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)) of 1 A. The device utilizes a sensing gate structure with a sensitivity range of 3-3-3-3 mA. Key electrical parameters include a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 16.7 A or 20 A, a maximum holding current (IH) of 5 mA, and a gate trigger voltage (VGT) of 2 V at a gate trigger current (IGT) of 3 mA. The on-state voltage is specified at 1.6 V, with a leakage current of 2 µA under VDRM conditions. It operates within a temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensing gate architecture providing high sensitivity for low-power drive circuits
• Robust construction supporting high surge currents for reliable switching
• Standardized pinout configuration compatible with common mounting styles

Triacs Applications

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

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RP' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS and REACH compliance requirements for your target market. Cross-reference the Littelfuse part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm availability and authenticity before placing orders.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking capability and 1 A continuous load current are required. The sensing gate characteristic makes it suitable for applications where minimal gate drive power is available. Verify that the thermal management design accommodates the 1.6 V on-state voltage drop at the expected operating current to maintain junction temperatures within safe limits.

Triacs Part Context

The L6X3RP is part of the LXNX family of triacs from Littelfuse. This series is engineered for general-purpose AC switching tasks. The LXNX devices are known for their reliability in consumer electronics and industrial control systems requiring compact power regulation solutions.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Consult Littelfuse official substitution guides for direct equivalents. Generic replacements must match the 600 V rating, 1 A IT(RMS), and sensing gate sensitivity profile to ensure circuit compatibility.
