GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Passivated, sensitive gate triacs in a
plastic envelope, intended for use in
general purpose bidirectional switching
and phase control applications. These
devices are intended to be interfaced
directly to microcontrollers, logic
integrated circuits and other low power
gate trigger circuits.
