Teccor® brand Thyristors
40 Amp Alternistor (High Commutation) Triacs
Description
40 Amp bi-directional solid state switch series is designed
for AC switching and phase control applications such as
motor speed and temperature modulation controls, lighting
controls, and static switching relays.
Alternistor type devices only operate in quadrants I, II, & III
and are used in circuits requiring high dv/dt capability.

Applications
Excellent for AC switching and phase control applications
such as heating, lighting, and motor speed controls.
Typical applications are AC solid-state switches, industrial
power tools, exercise equipment, white goods and
commercial appliances.
Alternistor Triacs (no snubber required) are used in
applications with extremely inductive loads requiring
highest commutation performance.
Internally constructed isolated packages are offered for
ease of heat sinking with highest isolation voltage.
