L6008R6TP TRIAC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The L6008R6TP is a Logic - Sensitive Gate TRIAC manufactured by Littelfuse, rated for 600V off-state voltage and 8A on-state current in a Through Hole TO-220AB package. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings and mechanical compatibility are maintained within the specified parameter tolerances for thyristor applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the L6008R6TP is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Off State: 600 V (exact match required)
• Current - On State (It (RMS)) (Max): 8 A minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Voltage - Gate Trigger (Vgt) (Max): 1.3 V (equal or lower acceptable)
• Current - Gate Trigger (Igt) (Max): 5 mA (equal or lower acceptable)
• Current - Hold (Ih) (Max): 10 mA (equal or lower acceptable)
• Triac Type: Logic - Sensitive Gate (exact match required)
• Package / Case: TO-220-3 (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)

Parts meeting these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Parts exceeding the on-state current rating while maintaining all other parameters are classified as upgrades.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BTA08-600TWRG and BTB08-600TWRG are direct substitutes for the L6008R6TP. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications for voltage, current, and gate trigger parameters. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The STMicroelectronics substitutes provide extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 110°C), which represents an operational advantage in thermal margin.

T1210T-6I is classified as an upgrade substitute. It maintains the 600V voltage rating and Logic - Sensitive Gate configuration but provides increased on-state current capacity (12A versus 8A) and higher gate trigger current (10mA versus 5mA). This part is suitable for applications requiring higher current handling while maintaining the same voltage class and package form factor. T1210T-6I is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

All substitute parts are Active product status with confirmed inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BTA08-600TWRG replace L6008R6TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. BTA08-600TWRG meets all critical electrical parameters: 600V off-state voltage, 8A on-state current, 1.3V maximum gate trigger voltage, and 5mA maximum gate trigger current. Both use TO-220-3 Through Hole packaging. The extended operating temperature range of BTA08-600TWRG provides additional thermal margin.

Q: What is the difference between BTA08-600TWRG and BTB08-600TWRG?

A: Both parts are electrically identical with matching voltage, current, and gate trigger specifications. The difference lies in the base product designation (BTA08 versus BTB08), which reflects different manufacturer product lines. Both are suitable direct substitutes for L6008R6TP.

Q: When should T1210T-6I be used instead of direct substitutes?

A: T1210T-6I should be selected when the application requires higher on-state current capacity (12A versus 8A). The 600V voltage rating and Logic - Sensitive Gate configuration remain compatible with L6008R6TP circuit requirements. Note that gate trigger current is higher (10mA maximum), which may affect gate drive circuit design.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. L6008R6TP and all substitute parts (BTA08-600TWRG, BTB08-600TWRG, T1210T-6I) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Do substitute parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All parts use TO-220-3 Through Hole packaging with identical mechanical dimensions and pin configuration, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.
