: 95 - 280 Volts
General Description
◇
A sidac is a silicon bilateral voltage triggered switch,
with greater power-handling capabilities than
standard diacs. Upon application of a voltage
exceeding the Sidac breakover voltage point, the Sidac
switches on, through a negative resistance region, to a
a low on-state voltage. Conduction will continue until
the current is interrupted or drops below the minimum
holding current of the device.
◇
Switching voltages in the range of 95 V to 330 V.
◇
Sidacs feature glass-passivated junctions that ensure
long term reliability and stable characteristics by
creating a rugged, reliable barrier against junction
contamination.
◇
Variations of devices covered in this data sheet are
available for custom design applications. Please
consult the factory for more information.
