DESCRIPTION
The 6T
triac series is suitable for general purpose AC
switching. They can be used as an ON/OFF function in
applications such as static relays, heating regulation,
induction motor starting circuits... or for phase control
operation in light dimmers, motor speed controllers,...
The snubberless and logic level versions are specially
recommended for use on inductive loads, thanks to their
high commutation performances.
By using an internal ceramic pad, the 6T series provides
voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500V
RMS
) complying
with UL standards (File ref. :E320098)
