Product data sheet
1. General description
Planar passivated sensitive gate four quadrant triac in an internally insulated SOT78D (TO-220AB)
plastic package intended for use in general purpose bidirectional switching and phase control
applications. This sensitive gate "series E" triac can be interfaced directly to microcontrollers, logic
integrated circuits and other low power gate trigger circuits. The internally insulated mounting base
gives good thermal performance combined with ease of handling and assembly by the user.
2. Features and benefits
• 2500 V RMS isolation voltage capability
• Direct interfacing to logic level ICs
• Direct interfacing to low power gate drivers and microcontrollers
• High blocking voltage capability
• Industry standard TO-220 package for ease of handling
• Isolated mounting base
• Planar passivated for voltage ruggedness and reliability
• Sensitive gate
• Triggering in all four quadrants
3. Applications
• 230 V lamp dimmers
• General purpose switching and phase control
