40 Amp Alternistor (High Commutation) and Standard Triacs
RoHS
Qxx40xx Series
Description
The 40 Amp bi-directional solid state switch series is
designed for AC switching and phase control applications
such as motor speed, temperature modulation controls,
lighting controls, and static switching relays.
Alternistor type components only operate in quadrants I, II,
& III and are used in circuits requiring high dv/dt capability.
Standard type devices operate in quadrants I,II,III & IV.

Applications
Excellent for AC switching and phase control applications
such as heating, lighting, and motor speed controls.
Typical applications are AC solid-state switches, industrial
power tools, exercise equipment, white goods and
commercial appliances.
Alternistor Triacs (no snubber required) are used in
applications with extremely inductive loads requiring
highest commutation performance.
Internally constructed isolated packages are offered for
ease of heat sinking with highest isolation voltage.
