Applications
Switching mode power supply, light dimmer, electronic flasher unit, control of household equipment such as TV sets,
stereo systems, refrigerator, washing machine, infrared kotatsu, and carpet, solenoid driver, small motor control,
copying machine, electric tool, electric heater control, and other general purpose control applications
Warning
1. Refer to the recommended circuit values around the triac before using.
2. Be sure to exchange the specification before using. Otherwise, general triacs with the maximum
junction temperature of 125°C will be supplied.
