Q6016RH3

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse Q6016RH3 is a bidirectional triac (Alternistor) rated for 600V repetitive peak off-state voltage and 16A RMS on-state current. It features a low holding current of 20mA and a gate trigger current of 20mA, housed in a TO-220AB package with an isolated tab. The device exhibits a maximum on-state voltage of 1.6V and operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• High dv/dt capability for reliable switching in noisy environments
• Isolated mounting tab for simplified heat sink integration
• Low holding current for efficient light load control

Triacs Applications

• Solid state relays
• Industrial motor controls
• Lighting dimmers

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm pinout and isolation characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet or environmental declaration before finalizing component selection.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when high voltage blocking and moderate current handling are required in a standard through-hole configuration. Ensure the driving circuit can supply the specified gate trigger current and that thermal management accommodates the 1.6V on-state voltage drop at full load.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the Littelfuse Alternistor family, designed for robust power switching applications. It serves as a solid-state alternative to mechanical relays, offering longer life and faster switching speeds while maintaining electrical isolation between the control gate and the main terminals.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the Q6016RH3TP for tape-and-reel packaging or the Q6016LH3 for non-isolated variants. Verify package dimensions and thermal resistance values when substituting to ensure board compatibility.
