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
