Q6016LH3

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse Q6016LH3 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 16 A. The device exhibits a maximum on-state voltage of 1.6 V and a gate trigger current (IGT) of 20 mA. Leakage current at VDRM is specified at 5 uA, with a holding current maximum of 35 mA. Operating temperatures range from -40 C to +125 C. The component is housed in a TO-220-2 package.

Triacs Feature Summary

• High thermal stability supporting operation up to +125 C
• Robust 16 A RMS current handling capability
• Low leakage current characteristics for efficient blocking

Triacs Applications

• AC motor speed control circuits
• Solid state relay designs
• Lighting dimmer switches

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm pinout and packaging variations. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid RoHS compliance certificates. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor databases to validate authenticity before purchase.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V rating and 16 A continuous current are required. Verify that the gate trigger current of 20 mA aligns with the driving circuit capabilities. Confirm that the TO-220-2 package fits the thermal and spatial constraints of the target PCB design.

Triacs Part Context

This triac belongs to the Qxx16xHx series from Littelfuse. It shares core electrical specifications with variants like the Q6016LH3TP, differing primarily in packaging or reel configuration. The series is engineered for general-purpose industrial AC switching tasks requiring reliable high-current performance.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for equivalent parts offering identical 600 V / 16 A ratings. Verify pin compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
