LX807MERP

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse LX807MERP is a sensitive gate triac from the LX8 series, housed in a TO-92 through-hole package. It features an RMS on-state current of 800 mA and a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 8 A. The device supports a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V with a maximum off-state leakage current of 5 uA at VDRM. Key electrical parameters include an on-state voltage of 1.6 V, a maximum holding current of 5 mA, and a gate trigger voltage of 1.3 V. Gate trigger currents are specified at 5 mA and 7 mA. Operating temperatures range from -40 C to +110 C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate architecture for low-power logic control applications
• Robust thermal performance across extended industrial temperature ranges
• Compact through-hole packaging suitable for space-constrained designs

Triacs Applications

• AC power switching circuits
• Lighting dimmer controls
• Motor speed regulation systems

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MEAP or MERP against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm packaging type, as suffixes often denote tape-and-reel versus ammo pack configurations. Confirm RoHS and REACH compliance status directly with Littelfuse documentation before procurement. Ensure the ordered part number matches the required 600 V rating and TO-92 package variant for your design.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking voltage and 800 mA continuous current capacity are required in a small form factor. Compare gate trigger current specifications against your driving circuit capabilities to ensure reliable turn-on. Verify that the thermal management strategy accommodates the 110 C junction temperature limit under expected load conditions.

Triacs Part Context

This triac belongs to the LX8 family of sensitive gate devices manufactured by Littelfuse. The series is designed for general-purpose AC power control applications requiring low gate drive power. The LX807 variant specifically denotes the 600 V blocking voltage rating within this product line.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Littelfuse LX8 series parts such as LX807DE for equivalent electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
