4Q Triac
Product data sheet
1. General description
Planar passivated sensitive gate four quadrant triac in an internally insulated SOT78D (TO-220AB)
plastic package intended for use in general purpose bidirectional switching and phase control
applications. This sensitive gate "series E" triac can be interfaced directly to microcontrollers, logic
integrated circuits and other low power gate trigger circuits. The internally insulated mounting base
gives good thermal performance combined with ease of handling and assembly by the user.
