L6X8E6AP

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse L6X8E6AP is a bidirectional triac designed for AC power control applications. It features an RMS on-state current of 0.8 A and a rated repetitive off-state voltage 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, gate trigger voltage of 2 V, and 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.

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

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

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AP' against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm if it denotes a specific tape-and-reel packaging variant or environmental compliance marking distinct from the standard bulk L6X8E6. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with manufacturer minimum order requirements and lead times.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-current triac with high voltage blocking capability is required in a compact through-hole form factor. Verify that the gate drive circuit can supply the specified 5-10 mA trigger current. Confirm that the 600V rating exceeds the peak line voltage plus transient spikes in the target application.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the LxX8Ex series of triacs manufactured by Littelfuse. The series is characterized by its robust construction suitable for general-purpose AC switching tasks. The L6X8E6 designation indicates the core electrical specifications, while the suffix may indicate specific manufacturing lot or packaging details.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 600V/0.8A rating and TO-92-3 package. Check datasheets for equivalent parts from other manufacturers ensuring identical gate trigger characteristics and thermal resistance values to maintain circuit performance.
