MAC229
Triacs
Silicon Bidirectional Triode Thyristors
. . . designed primarily for industrial and consumer applications for full wave control of
ac loads such as appliance controls, heater controls, motor controls, and other power
switching applications.
• All Diffused and Glass-Passivated Junctions for Parameter Uniformity and
Stability
• Small, Rugged, Thermowatt Construction for Low Thermal resistance and High
Heat Dissipation
• Center Gate Geometry for Uniform Current Spreading
• Gate Triggering Guaranteed in Three Modes (MAC229 Series) or Four Modes
(MAC229A Series)
