Q6010R5

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse Q6010R5 is a bidirectional triac designed for AC power control applications. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V and an on-state RMS current (IT(RMS)) of 10 A. The device supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current ranging from 100 A to 120 A, depending on the specific test conditions. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-state voltage of 1.6 V, a holding current (IH) maximum of 50 mA, and a gate trigger voltage (VGT) of 2.5 V with a gate trigger current (IGT) of 50 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and utilizes a TO-220AB package.

Triacs Feature Summary

• High thermal stability enabling operation at elevated temperatures up to 125 °C
• Robust surge handling capability for transient load protection
• Standardized gate triggering characteristics for reliable interface with control circuits

Triacs Applications

• AC motor speed control systems
• Solid-state relay implementations
• General-purpose AC power switching

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Littelfuse distributors or certified suppliers. Request original manufacturer datasheets and compliance certificates to confirm RoHS status and traceability. Inspect packaging integrity upon receipt to ensure no physical damage occurred during transit. Validate part markings against official specifications before integration into production lines.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking voltage and 10 A continuous current rating are required in a through-hole configuration. Ensure the driving circuit can supply at least 50 mA gate current to guarantee reliable turn-on across the specified temperature range. Consider thermal management requirements given the TO-220AB package limitations for high-power dissipation scenarios.

Triacs Part Context

This triac belongs to the Qxx10xx series from Littelfuse, which provides standardized thyristor solutions for industrial and consumer AC control. The Q6010R5 variant specifically addresses applications needing moderate current handling with high voltage resilience. It serves as a core switching element in circuits requiring robust phase-angle control or zero-crossing switching capabilities.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Q6010R5TP is a verified equivalent offering identical electrical specifications in a TO-220AB package. Q6010N4RP provides similar performance but utilizes an SMD SMTO-263-2 package, requiring PCB layout adjustments.
