2N6071A/B Series
Preferred Device
Sensitive Gate Triacs
Silicon Bidirectional Thyristors
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.

to TTL, HTL, CMOS and Operational Amplifier Integrated Circuit
Logic Functions
• Gate Triggering 4 Mode — 2N6071A,B, 2N6073A,B, 2N6075A,B
• Blocking Voltages to 600 Volts
• All Diffused and Glass Passivated Junctions for Greater Parameter
Uniformity and Stability
• Small, Rugged, Thermopad Construction for Low Thermal
Resistance, High Heat Dissipation and Durability

Trigger devices are recommended for gating on Triacs. They provide:
1. Consistent predictable turn-on points.
2. Simplified circuitry.
3. Fast turn-on time for cooler, more efficient and reliable operation.
