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:
□ Planar Passivation
□ Selected for Inductive Loads
Applications:
□ AC Switch
□ Heating
□ Motor Controls
□ Switch Mode Power Supply
□ Lighting
□ Solid State Relay
