QJ6016NH5TP

Overview

The QJ6016NH5TP is a 16 Amp Alternistor TRIAC from the QJxx16xHx series, manufactured by Littelfuse (formerly IXYS). It features a 600V repetitive peak off-state voltage and operates in quadrants I, II, and III. The device utilizes a TO-263 (D2PAK) surface-mount package with an internally isolated mounting tab. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum on-state voltage of 1.60 V at 22.6 A, a gate trigger current of 50 mA, and a non-repetitive surge current capability of 200 A at 60 Hz. It supports a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and offers high commutation performance for AC power control applications.

Feature Summary

• Internally isolated TO-263 package design providing enhanced thermal management and higher isolation voltage
• High surge handling capability supporting up to 200A non-repetitive peak on-state current
• Operates in Quadrants I, II, and III with high commutation capability for inductive loads

Applications

• Heater control systems including coffee brewers and tankless water heaters
• AC solid-state relays requiring high commutation performance
• Light dimmers for incandescent and LED lighting applications
• Motor speed control in kitchen appliances and light industrial compressor motors

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Littelfuse distributors or certified supply chain partners. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and sensitivity rating. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and UL 1557 recognition requirements relevant to the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 600V blocking voltage requirement and the need for surface-mount integration. The 50mA gate sensitivity suits moderate drive currents. Evaluate thermal resistance parameters against the expected RMS on-state current to ensure the junction temperature remains within the 150°C limit during operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QJxx16xHx series of 16 Amp High Temperature Alternistor Triacs. The 'N' designation indicates the TO-263 D2PAK surface-mount package, while 'H5' specifies the 50mA gate trigger sensitivity. The 'TP' suffix denotes tube packaging for this specific variant.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 16A current rating, 600V voltage class, and TO-263 package footprint. Verify equivalent gate trigger current and dv/dt ratings to maintain circuit stability. Consult manufacturer cross-reference lists for validated substitutes.
