L6X8E8RP

Triacs Overview

The L6X8E8RP is a bidirectional triac manufactured by Littelfuse, 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. It exhibits a maximum 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

• Sensitive gate design enabling direct interfacing with microprocessors and logic circuits
• High thermal stability suitable for demanding industrial environments
• Robust construction with glass passivated junctions for durability

Triacs Applications

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

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix RP against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout configuration and specific testing parameters. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the TO-92-3 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest environmental declaration documents provided by Littelfuse before finalizing procurement specifications.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking voltage and 800 mA continuous current rating are required in a compact through-hole package. The sensitive gate characteristic makes it suitable for low-power drive applications. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the system requirements, as the device supports operation down to -65°C.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the LxX8Ex series of triacs from Littelfuse, which are optimized for general-purpose AC switching. The series offers a balance of voltage rating and current handling in standard packages. The L6X8E8RP specifically denotes the 600 V variant with the RP suffix indicating specific mechanical or testing attributes defined by the manufacturer.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Consult Littelfuse official substitution guides for equivalent triacs with matching 600 V and 800 mA ratings. Verify pinout compatibility for TO-92-3 packages before replacing. Generic equivalents may differ in gate sensitivity or thermal resistance.
