Product data sheet
1. General description
Planar passivated four quadrant triac in a SOT78 (TO-220AB) plastic package intended for
use in applications requiring high bidirectional transient and blocking voltage capability and
high thermal cycling performance. Typical applications include motor control, industrial and
domestic lighting, heating and static switching.
2. Features and benefits
