TAB
The TN22 has been specifically developed for
use in fluorescent tube lamp electronic starter
circuits.
Used in conjunction with a sensitive SCR, it
provides high energy striking characteristics with
low triggering power.

Thanks to the optimized characteristics of the
TN22, starters offer high reliability levels and
extended life time of the fluorescent tube lamps.
Features
High clamping voltage structure
(1200 to 1500 V)
Low gate triggering current for direct drive from
line (
<
1.5 mA)
High holding current (
>
175 mA), ensuring high
striking energy
