. . . designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications, such as light dimmers,
motor controls, heating controls and power supplies; or wherever full-wave silicon
gate controlled solid-state devices are needed. Triac type thyristors switch from a
blocking to a conducting state for either polarity of applied anode voltage with positive
or negative gate triggering.
• Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts
• All Diffused and Glass Passivated Junctions for Greater Parameter Uniformity
and Stability
• Small, Rugged, Thermowatt Construction for Low Thermal Resistance, High
Heat Dissipation and Durability
• Gate Triggering Guaranteed in Four Modes
