MAC15A4/D
MAC15 Series
Preferred Device
Triacs
Silicon Bidirectional Thyristors
Designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications, such as
solid–state relays, motor controls, heating controls and power
supplies; or wherever full–wave silicon gate controlled solid–state
devices are needed. Triac type thyristors switch from a blocking to a
conducting state for either polarity of applied main terminal voltage
with positive or negative gate triggering.
Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts
All Diffused and Glass Passivated Junctions for Greater Parameter
Uniformity and Stability
Small, Rugged, Thermowatt Construction for Low Thermal
Resistance, High Heat Dissipation and Durability
Gate Triggering Guaranteed in Three Modes (MAC15 Series) or
Four Modes (MAC15A Series)
