Three quadrant triacs
high commutation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Passivated high commutation triacs in
a plastic envelope suitable for surface
mounting intended for use in circuits
where high static and dynamic dV/dt
and high dI/dt can occur. These
devices will commutate the full rated
rms current at the maximum rated
junction temperature without the aid of
a snubber.

Although not recommended, off-state voltages up to 800V may be applied without damage, but the triac may
switch to the on-state. The rate of rise of current should not exceed 6 A/µs.
