Three quadrant triacs
guaranteed commutation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Passivated guaranteed commutation
triacs in a plastic envelope suitable for
surface mounting, intended for use in
motor control circuits or with other
highly inductive loads. These devices
balance
the
requirements
of
commutation performance and gate
sensitivity. The "sensitive gate" E
series and "logic level" D series are
intended for interfacing with low power
drivers, including micro controllers.

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.
