SEMICONDUCTORS
DESCRIPTION
This device is a bidirectional triode thyristor (triac) which may be triggered from the off-state
to the on-state by either polarity of gate signal with main Terminal 2 at either polarity.

Notes:
1. These values apply bidirectionally for any value of resistance between the gate and Main Terminal
1.
2. This value applies for 50-Hz full-sine-wave operation with resistive load. Above 70°C derate
linearly to 110°C case temperature at the rate of 400 mA/°C.
3. This value applies for one 50-Hz full-sine-wave when the device is operating at (or below) the rated
value of peak reverse voltage and on-state current. Surge may be repeated after the device has
returned to original thermal equilibrium.
