Q6016LH2

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse Q6016LH2 is a bidirectional triac from the Qxx16xHx series, designed for AC switching and phase control. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V and an on-state RMS current (It RMS) of 16 A. The device has a maximum non-repetitive peak on-state current of 200 A and a typical on-state voltage of 1.6 V. Gate triggering parameters include a maximum holding current of 15 mA, a gate trigger voltage of 1.3 V, and a gate trigger current of 10 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is housed in a TO-220-2 through-hole package.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Alternistor technology provides high commutation capability and operation in quadrants I, II, and III.
• Designed for robust AC switching and phase control applications such as motor speed modulation.
• Through-hole TO-220-2 packaging facilitates thermal management and board mounting.

Triacs Applications

• Motor speed controls
• Temperature modulation controls
• Lighting controls
• Static switching relays

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ordering suffixes may indicate variations in packaging or testing standards. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for the intended market. Cross-reference the part number with official Littelfuse documentation to avoid substitution errors.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 600 V blocking voltage and 16 A continuous current handling. The Alternistor design is suitable for circuits demanding high dv/dt immunity. Verify that the gate drive circuit can supply at least 10 mA at 1.3 V for reliable triggering. Consider the TO-220-2 package size for thermal dissipation needs in the target enclosure.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the Qxx16xHx series of 16 Amp Alternistor Triacs by Littelfuse. These devices are engineered for high commutation performance compared to standard triacs. The series supports various packages including TO-220 variants for different thermal and mechanical integration requirements.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 600 V rating, 16 A current capacity, and Alternistor functionality. Verify gate sensitivity and holding current compatibility. Check package dimensions for mechanical fit. Consult Littelfuse application notes for equivalent part numbers within the same family.
