Three quadrant triacs
guaranteed commutation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Passivated guaranteed commutation
triacs in a full pack, plastic envelope
intended for use in motor control circuits
or with other highly inductive loads.
These
devices
balance
the
requirements
of
commutation
performance and gate sensitivity. The
"sensitive gate" E series and "logic level"
D series are intended for interfacing with
low power drivers, including micro
controllers.

Although not recommended, off-state voltages up to 800V may be applied without damage, but the triac may
switch to the on-state. The rate of rise of current should not exceed 6 A/µs.
