1. Product profile
1.1 General description
Planar passivated sensitive gate four quadrant triac in a SOT186A (TO-220F) "full pack"
plastic package intended for use in applications requiring high bidirectional transient and
blocking voltage capability and high thermal cycling performance. Typical applications
include motor control, industrial and domestic lighting, heating and static switching. This
sensitive gate "series E" triac is intended for gate triggering by low power drivers and
microcontrollers.
1.2 Features and benefits
•
Direct triggering from low power drivers and logic ICs
•
High blocking voltage capability
•
Isolated package
•
Planar passivated for voltage ruggedness and reliability
•
Sensitive gate
•
Triggering in all four quadrants
1.3 Applications
•
General purpose motor control
•
General purpose switching
