10 Amp Standard & Alternistor (High Communitation) Triacs
Qxx10xx & Qxx10xHx Series
Description
10 Amp bi-directional solid state switch series is designed
for AC switching and phase control applications such as
motor speed and temperature modulation controls, lighting
controls, and static switching relays.
Standard type devices normally operate in Quadrants I & III
triggered from AC line.
Features & Benefits
eliminates arcing or
contact bounce that
create voltage transients
out from reaction of
switching events
generation, depending on
activation point sine wave
junctions

Applications
Alternistor type devices are used in applications requiring
high commutation performance such as controlling
inductive loads. Isolated packages are offered with internal
construction, having the case or mounting tab electrically
isolated from the semiconductor chip.
