Description:

A triac is a solid state silicon
AC switch which may be gate
triggered from an off-state to an
on-state for either polarity of
applied voltage.

Features:

□ Glass Passivation
□ Selected for Inductive Loads

Applications:

□ AC Switch
□ Heating
□ Motor Controls
□ Lighting
□ Solid State Relay
□ Switch Mode Power Supply
