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
□ Copying Machine
□ Switch Mode Power Supply

Ordering Information:

Example: Select the complete
seven, eight or nine digit part
number you desire from the
table - i.e.BCR6AM-8 is a
