Product data sheet
1. General description
Planar passivated four quadrant triac in a SOT78 (TO-220AB) plastic package intended
for use in general purpose bidirectional switching and phase control applications. This
sensitive gate "series E" triac is intended to be interfaced directly to microcontrollers,
logic integrated circuits and other low power gate trigger circuits.
2. Features and benefits
•

•
•
Direct triggering from low power drivers and logic ICs
High blocking voltage capability
Planar passivated for voltage ruggedness and reliability
Sensitive gate for easy logic level triggering
Triggering in all four quadrants
3. Applications
•
•
General purpose motor control
General purpose switching
