Designed 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.
Features
• Uniform Gate Trigger Currents in Three Quadrants, Q1,
Q2, and Q3
• High Commutating di/dt and High Immunity to
dv/dt @ 125°C
• Minimizes Snubber Networks for Protection
Pin Out
• Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts
• On-State Current Rating of 12 Amperes RMS at 80°C
• High Surge Current Capability − 100 Amperes
• Industry Standard TO-220AB Package for Ease of Design
• Glass Passivated Junctions for Reliability and Uniformity
• These Devices are Pb−Free and are RoHS Compliant
