L6X8E5AP

Triacs Overview

The L6X8E5AP is a bidirectional triac manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for AC power control applications. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V and an RMS on-state current (It RMS) of 800 mA. 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 maximum holding current of 10 mA, a gate trigger voltage of 2 V, and a gate trigger current ranging from 5 mA to 10 mA. The component exhibits a low on-state voltage of 1.6 V and a non-repetitive peak on-state current capability of 8.3 A or 10 A.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Bidirectional switching capability for AC circuit control
• High thermal stability with extended operating temperature range
• Low gate sensitivity for efficient triggering

Triacs Applications

• Lighting dimmer circuits
• Motor speed control systems
• Solid state relays

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AP' against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm any distinct marking or tape-and-reel packaging variations compared to standard bulk versions. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the TO-92-3 package during sourcing.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking voltage and 800 mA continuous current rating are required in a compact TO-92-3 form factor. Consider the 5-10 mA gate trigger current range for driver interface design and verify thermal management requirements for the specified 110 °C maximum junction temperature.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the LxX8Ex series of triacs from Littelfuse, which are characterized by their robust construction and suitability for general-purpose AC power switching. The series offers various voltage and current ratings packaged in standard through-hole configurations for ease of integration into consumer and industrial electronics.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 600 V, 800 mA triacs in TO-92 packages such as those from STMicroelectronics or WeEn Semiconductors. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure equivalent gate trigger specifications before substitution.
