DESCRIPTION
The VO4254 and VO4256 phototriac consists of a GaAs
IRLED optically coupled to a photosensitive non-zero
crossing TRIAC packaged in a DIP-6 package.
High input sensitivity is achieved by using an emitter
follower phototransistor and a cascaded SCR predriver
resulting in an LED trigger current of 1.6 mA for bin D, 2 mA
for bin H, and 3 mA for bin M.
The new non zero phototriac family use a proprietary dV/dt
clamp resulting in a static dV/dt of greater than 5 kV/μs.
The VO4254 and VO4256 phototriac isolates low-voltage
logic from 120 V
AC
, 240 V
AC
, and 380 V
AC
lines to control
resistive, inductive, or capacitive loads including motors,
solenoids, high current thyristors or TRIAC and relays.

Notes
• Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation of the device is not
implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of this document. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods of the time can adversely affect reliability.

Refer to reflow profile for soldering conditions for surface mounted devices (SMD). Refer to wave profile for soldering conditions for through
hole devices (DIP).

Note
• The thermal characteristics table above were measured at 25 °C and the thermal model is represented in the thermal network below. Each
resistance value given in this model can be used to calculate the temperatures at each node for a given operating condition. The thermal
resistance from board to ambient will be dependent on the type of PCB, layout and thickness of copper traces. For a detailed explanation
of the thermal model, please reference Vishay's Thermal Characteristics of Optocouplers application note.
