MAC223A8X
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Passivated triac in a full pack, plastic
envelope, 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.
