L6X8E3AP

Triacs Overview

The L6X8E3AP is a bidirectional triac from the Littelfuse LxX8Ex series, designed for AC power control applications. It features an RMS on-state current of 800 mA and a rated repetitive peak off-state voltage of 600 V. The device operates with a gate trigger current of 3 mA and maintains a holding current maximum of 5 mA. It exhibits a low on-state voltage of 1.6 V and a non-repetitive peak on-state current capability of up to 10 A. The component supports a junction temperature range from -65 °C to +110 °C and is housed in a TO-92-3 through-hole package.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Bidirectional switching capability for AC circuit control
• High sensitivity gate triggering for efficient drive requirements
• Robust thermal performance across extended industrial temperature ranges

Triacs Applications

• AC motor speed control circuits
• Solid state relay output stages
• Lighting dimmer implementations

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AP against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm any distinct marking or tape-and-reel configuration differences compared to standard bulk packaging. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact electrical specifications required for the target design to avoid compatibility issues.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking voltage and 800 mA continuous current are required in a compact through-hole form factor. The 3 mA gate sensitivity allows for direct interfacing with low-power logic controllers. Verify that the TO-92-3 package thermal dissipation meets the system's heat management constraints under full load conditions.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the LxX8Ex family of high-sensitivity triacs manufactured by Littelfuse. These devices are engineered for general-purpose AC switching tasks where moderate current handling and reliable gate control are prioritized. The series provides a standardized solution for consumer electronics and industrial control panels requiring robust thyristor-based switching.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for the L6X8E3AP are not available in the provided reference data. Engineers should consult Littelfuse technical support or authorized distributor cross-reference tools to identify equivalent components with matching voltage, current, and package specifications.
