APPLICATIONS
The snubberless concept offer suppression of RC
network and it is suitable for applications such as
phase control and static switching on inductive or
resistive load.
Due to their clip assembly techinque, they provide
a superior performance in surge current handling
capabilities.
By using an internal ceramic pad, the 20T series
provides voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500V
RMS
)
complying with UL standards.
