QV6016LH3TP

Triacs Overview

The QV6016LH3TP is a high-temperature Alternistor TRIAC manufactured by Littelfuse, designed for robust power control applications. It features an RMS on-state current (It RMS) of 16 A and a rated repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V. The device exhibits a low on-state voltage of 1.6 V and a maximum holding current of 60 mA. Gate triggering requirements include a voltage (Vgt) of 1.3 V and a current (Igt) of 50 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C and is housed in a TO-220L-3 insulated package.

Triacs Feature Summary

• High-temperature operation capability up to 150°C for demanding environments
• Insulated TO-220L-3 package design for enhanced safety and mounting flexibility
• High dv/dt rating suitable for noisy switching applications

Triacs Applications

• Industrial motor speed control systems
• High-power heating element regulation
• Solid-state relay modules requiring thermal isolation

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TP' against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging status, as distributor listings may vary. Ensure the TO-220L-3 insulated package variant matches the design requirement for electrical isolation from heatsinks. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with the latest datasheet revision to confirm active status and compliance details.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when high thermal stability above 125°C is required, distinguishing it from standard TRIACs limited to 125°C. The insulated TO-220L-3 package eliminates the need for separate insulating hardware. Verify that the 50 mA gate trigger current aligns with the driving circuit's output capabilities, as it is higher than some standard TRIAC variants.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the QVxx16xHx series of Alternistors, which are specialized TRIACs optimized for high-temperature performance and high dv/dt immunity. Unlike standard TRIACs, these devices are engineered to maintain reliability in harsh electrical environments where rapid voltage transients occur.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

The Q6016LH3TP is a non-insulated alternative within the same current and voltage ratings but lacks the thermal isolation of the TO-220L-3 package. Designers must account for additional insulation requirements if substituting the non-insulated version.
