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
Ordering Information:
Example: Select the complete
seven, eight or nine digit part
number you desire from the
table - i.e.BCR5AM-8 is a
400 Volt, 5 Ampere Triac.
