GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Glass passivated, sensitive gate triacs
in a full pack plastic envelope,
intended for use in general purpose
bidirectional switching and phase
control applications. These devices
are intended to be interfaced directly
to microcontrollers, logic integrated
circuits and other low power gate
trigger circuits.

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 3 A/µs.
