L6X8E6

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6X8E6 is a bidirectional triac designed for AC switching and phase 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 parameters include a holding current maximum of 10 mA, a gate trigger voltage of 2 V, and a gate trigger current ranging from 5 mA to 10 mA. It exhibits an on-state voltage of 1.6 V and a non-repetitive peak on-state current capability of 8.3 A or 10 A depending on the specific test condition.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Bidirectional AC switching capability with integrated gate control for either polarity of main terminal voltage.
• Glass-passivated junction construction ensures long-term device reliability and parameter stability.
• Suitable for noise-immune applications such as speed controls, temperature modulation, and lighting controls.

Triacs Applications

• AC speed controls
• Temperature modulation controls
• Lighting controls

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix and manufacturing date code against the manufacturer's latest datasheet before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status and REACH SVHC declarations directly with Littelfuse or authorized distributors. Ensure the TO-92-3 package dimensions match the target PCB layout requirements. Check for any specific storage or handling guidelines related to the component's sensitivity.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-current triac with 600 V blocking capability is required in a compact through-hole package. Consider the 800 mA RMS current rating relative to the load requirements. Evaluate the gate trigger characteristics (5-10 mA) against the driving circuit's output capability. Ensure the operating temperature range of -65°C to +110°C meets the environmental conditions of the application.
