Motorola Thyristor Device Data

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.

• Four Mode Triggering for Drive Circuits that Source Current

• 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

1. VDRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the

voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.

2. The case temperature reference point for all TC measurements is a point on the center lead of the package as close as possible to the plastic

body.
