QV6016NH5RP

Overview

The QV6016NH5RP is a high-temperature Alternistor TRIAC from the QVxx16xHx series, manufactured by Littelfuse. It features a 600 V off-state voltage rating and a 16 A RMS on-state current capability. The device operates in quadrants I, II, and III with a DC gate trigger current (IGT) of 50 mA. It utilizes a TO-263 (D2PAK) surface-mount package and supports a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C. Key electrical characteristics include a peak on-state voltage of 1.60 V at 22.6 A, a non-repetitive surge peak on-state current of 200 A at 60 Hz, and a critical rate-of-rise of commutation voltage of 28 A/µs without a snubber.

Feature Summary

• High dv/dt capability up to 1000 V/µs for reliable operation in high-frequency switching environments
• Mechanically and thermally robust TO-263 clip-attach assembly designed for efficient heat sinking
• Internally isolated construction providing enhanced isolation voltage and thermal management
• Halogen-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing process

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Littelfuse distributors or certified supply chain partners. Confirm that the received parts match the specific QV6016NH5RP designation and packaging format. Review the latest datasheet for any updates regarding environmental approvals or mechanical dimensions prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for AC power control circuits requiring high surge handling and elevated operating temperatures. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 600 V rating and that the continuous current remains within the 16 A limit. Consider the 50 mA gate sensitivity when designing the drive circuitry. Verify thermal resistance requirements against the specified junction-to-case values for adequate heat dissipation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QVxx16xHx series of 16 A high-temperature Alternistor TRIACs. The series includes variants with different gate sensitivities and packages, such as TO-220AB and TO-220 isolated options. The 'N' suffix indicates the TO-263 D²-PAK surface-mount package, while 'H5' specifies the 50 mA gate trigger current sensitivity level.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives within the same family include QV6016NH4RP (35 mA sensitivity) and QV6016NH3RP (20 mA sensitivity). These share identical voltage, current, and package specifications but differ in gate trigger requirements. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent 16 A, 600 V TRIACs in TO-263 packages if Littelfuse stock is unavailable.
