Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
Passivated guaranteed commutation triacs in a plastic package. The ‘sensitive gate’ E and
ER series are intended for interfacing with low power drivers, including microcontrollers.
The high commutation B series are designed to commutate the full RMS current at the
maximum junction temperature without the aid of a snubber.

Although not recommended, off-state voltages up to 800 V 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.
