Alternistor Triacs
(6 – 40 Amps)

General Description
Teccor offers bidirectional alternistors with current ratings from
6 to 40 amperes and voltages from 200 to 1000 volts as part of
Teccor's broad line of thyristors. Teccor's alternistor has been
specifically designed for applications that switch highly inductive
loads. A special chip offers the same performance as two thyris-
tors (SCRs) wired inverse parallel (back-to-back), providing bet-
ter turn-off behavior than a standard triac. An alternistor may be
triggered from a blocking to conduction state for either polarity of
applied AC voltage with operating modes in Quadrants I, II, and
III.
This new chip construction provides two electrically separate
SCR structures, providing enhanced dv/dt characteristics while
retaining the advantages of a single chip device.
All alternistors have glass-passivated junctions to ensure long
term reliability and parameter stability. Teccor's glass offers a reli-
able barrier against junction contamination.
These alternistors are offered in TO-218X, TO-218AC, FastPak,
and TO-220AB packages. Teccor's TO-218X package has been
designed for heavy, steady power-handling capability. It features
large eyelet terminals for ease of soldering heavy gauge hook-up
wire. All the isolated packages have a standard isolation voltage
rating of 2500V
RMS
.
Variations of devices covered in this data sheet are available for
custom design applications. Please consult factory for further
information.
