L6X8E3

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6X8E3 is a bidirectional triac designed for AC power control applications. It features an RMS on-state current of 800 mA and a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +110°C and utilizes a TO-92-3 through-hole package. Key electrical characteristics include a gate trigger current (Igt) of 3 mA, a holding current maximum of 5 mA, and an on-state voltage of 1.6 V. It supports non-repetitive on-state currents of 8.3 A and 10 A, with an off-state leakage current of 10 uA at VDRM.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Bidirectional switching capability for AC circuit control
• High thermal stability across extended operating temperatures
• Low gate sensitivity for efficient triggering

Triacs Applications

• AC motor speed control circuits
• Lighting dimmer applications
• Solid-state relay inputs

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific Littelfuse datasheet for the L6X8E3 to confirm RoHS compliance status and REACH SVHC declarations prior to integration. Ensure that the TO-92-3 through-hole mounting style aligns with the target PCB design requirements. Cross-reference the 600 V rating against peak line voltages in the intended application environment.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-current triac is required for 600 V systems. The 800 mA RMS rating suits light loads such as small motors or lamps. Verify that the 3 mA gate trigger current matches the driving circuit's output capability. Consider the TO-92-3 package constraints for thermal dissipation in enclosed spaces.

Triacs Part Context

The L6X8E3 belongs to the LxX8Ex series of thyristors from Littelfuse. This series focuses on providing reliable AC switching solutions in standard through-hole packages. The component serves as a fundamental building block for consumer electronics and industrial control panels requiring isolated AC power regulation.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Consult official Littelfuse substitution guides for direct equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter margins before swapping with other 600 V, 800 mA triacs in TO-92 packages.
