NTE5611 thru NTE5618
TRIAC – 10 Amp
Description:
The NTE5611 through NTE5618 TRIACs are 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.
Features:
D All Diffused and Passivated Junctions for Greater Parameter Uniformity and Stability
D Small, Rugged, Thermopad Construction for Low Thermal Resistance, High Heat Dissipation
and Durability.
D Gate Triggering Guaranteed in Four Modes
Absolute Maximum Ratings: (Note 1)

Note 1. NTE5618 is a discontinued device and no longer available.
Note 2. Ratings apply for open gate conditions. Thyristor devices shall not be tested with a constant
current source for blocking capability such that the voltage applied exceeds the rated blocking voltage.
Note 3. Torque rating applies with use of torque washer. Mounting torque in excess of 8 in. lbs. does
not appreciably lower case–to–sink thermal resistance. Anode lead and heatsink contact
pad are common.
Note 4. For soldering purposes (either terminal connection or device mounting), soldering tempera-
tures shall not exceed +230°C.
