Hello out there...
I need a replacement for a TRIAC 2N6068.
I looked through my lists and drawers and couldn't find a component or any information about a replacement type.
Can anyone help me? It would have to be a fairly common type, since I come from Germany and can't access all types.
It is supposed to do its job on the peak overload board of the Marantz 510M (if anyone needs to specify this).
Have a nice day,
Elektroniklurch

The issue is that you will not find a TRIAC in a TO-126 package rated 40A. If you can fit a TO-220 then no problem. Perhaps the little TO-126 package is the reason it failed?

Dear Hugo
I just looked for the TAG232, but it's no longer available in stores. Would have to order from Ireland, but with VAT and such, the "fun" costs over €20 per part.
But on one page there was a reference to the TIC 206M.
This might work, I'll compare the values. But the 2N6068 has 25V, isn't the TRIAC with 600V a bit overproportioned?
@steveu
The TO-126 won't be the problem. As I mentioned (25V...600V),I don't really know which values should be appropriate in this circuit design and which can be ignored.
First of all, thank you both and best regards

Hello Hugo,
If you meant this Dönberg, that's a place in Germany. Dönberg only has a German internet address.
But when I try to order it looks like this 😳 68,45€
Just because of the text (the conditions) in the yellow marked area (Your request is below the minimum order value of 50.00 euros net. You can increase the order quantity of your desired item or purchase something additional), I wouldn't order there! That's a bit outrageous for my taste...
I'm going to drive to our local electronics store straight away and accept the 25km (one way) because the costs are still below the shipping costs of any provider and try to get the TAG232 there.
First of all, a big thank you and have a pleasant day

FOUR amp, not 40. The only thing special is being “sensitive gate”, which means easy to trigger in all 4 quadrants. Most common types trigger easily in 2 or 3 quadrants and take a lot more gate current to get the 4th to come on, if at all. If you can get a 200V instead of 600V, it will have lower on state voltage drop. The sensitive gate types do not have as good a noise immunity so not suited to many power control apps and are subject to false triggering in spiky environments - even capacitive or inductive coupling from nearby high current wiring can cause it. If you are driven off some IC that’s not likely the case.
All 2N60xx from 2N6068 to 2N6075 will work.
2N6068 is only 25V and the higher numbers gradually go up to 50V, 100V, 200V, 300V, 400V, 500V and 600V.
The data book chose to replace all of them with the TAG 232-600, which covers all voltages.

A big thank you for all of you!!! 
Finally it's done... after thinking about it for a while, reading your comments and finally deciding to go for it, I "fished" a 2N6070 from the depths of our dealer's drawer. So it's exactly within the scope of your suggestions. What else can I say, the VU meters rock and I'm completely satisfied.
Thank you again and best regards from me
