Z04 Series
STANDARD 4A TRIACS
October 2001 - Ed: 4
MAIN FEATURES:
DESCRIPTION
The Z04 series is suitable for general purpose AC
switching applications. They can be found in
applications such as touch light dimmers, fan
controllers, HID lamp ignitors,...
Different gate current sensitivities are available,
allowing optimized performances when controlled
directly from microcontrollers.
